Development of the Cooling Load Calculation Program Using MATLAB as a Stand-Alone Application
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
A stand-alone MATLAB application was developed for cooling load calculations and cooling system design. The program enables quick and accurate calculations without requiring a MATLAB license, reducing costs and improving accessibility. It significantly expedites the cooling load calculation and system design process, cutting time by 50%. The application serves as an educational tool and supports research in efficient cooling technologies, particularly radiant cooling systems. By facilitating better-designed cooling systems, the program contributes to energy conservation and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
