Abstract

30% of energy usage in a building is being loss, the need to minimize energy wastage in an air conditioner by buying the right size is very important because under sized air conditioner does not cool the room adequately and over-sized unit turns on and off frequently and consumes a lot of energy. Simulink a graphic-based program, which uses block diagram environment for Model-Based Design and multidomain simulation, was used for forecasting the cooling capacity of an air conditioner for a particular room based on the Canada Natural Resource model
