DEPARTMENT ofMINERALS and ENERGY
Learning objectives
Define energy in its various forms and energy relatedproperties;Use the correct units for energy and power, and convertfrom one unit to another as needed;Determine the properties of steam and moist air;Describe the mechanisms by which heat is transferred;Explain the effect of insulation on heat transfer, and themeans by which radiative heat transfer is controlled.

Energy in its variousforms
Chemical – in fuelsThermal – sensibleand latentMechanicalElectrical
Energy Equivalents
1000 joules (J) 1 kilojoule (kJ)
1 kilowatt-hour (kWh) 3,600,000 J or 3.6 MJ
DME Building Energy Audit Course 6
DEPARTMENT ofMINERALS and ENERGY
Basic electricity
VoltageThis is what pushes electricity through a circuit - the
“driving force”
Units are Volts (V)
CurrentThis is what is pushed through by the voltage - the
“flow”
Units are Amperes (A) (“Amps”, for short)

DME Building Energy Audit Course 7
DEPARTMENT ofMINERALS and ENERGY
Electrical power
When voltage and current work together todo something useful - such as turn a motoror light a lamp
Units are Watts1000 Watts = 1 kilowatt (kW)1 horsepower (HP) = 746 Watts

Air flow:Q = V x (T2 - T1) x 1.232
Humid air:Q = V x (H2 - H1) x 3.012
In liquids:Q = M x (T2 - T1) x C x1000
Pipe heat loss:Q = F x L
Refrigeration:Q = COP x Power toCompressor (kW)

What is energyauditing?
“An energy audit is developing an understanding of the specific energy using patterns of a particular facility.”

More about savingsEnergy Savings: energy saved x incremental energy rateDemand Savings: kVA saved x incremental demand rateThermal Fuel Savings: Fuel Energy Saved = Point of Use Energy Saved÷ Heating Plant Efficiency
Fuel Cost Saved = Fuel Energy Saved x Incremental Cost of Fuel ÷Energy Content of Fuel
Indirect electrical savingse.g. reduced A/C loads due to more efficient lighting:
A/C kWh Saved = Lighting kWh saved ÷ COPLess re-lamping labour and lamp cost from switching to a longer-lifelamp typeIncrease in employee productivity from converting to a higher quality,higher efficiency fixture type.
