Total transmission heat,

= 27766.37226 W

Internal Heat Gain:

People:
Qp = Qs + Qd
Qs = No. of people HG SHF CLF
Qd = No. of people HG (1-SHF)

Here,
SHF=60%
HG= 100 W per person for auditorium.
CLF=0.71
Qs

= 5001000.60.71
=21300 W

Qd

=500100 (1-.06)
=20000 W

Therefore,

Qp

=Qs + Qd
=29820 + 28000 =57820 W

Electronic & lighting Equipments:

Tube light

= (66430) CLF (=1)

=7920 W

High power bulbs = (5600) CLF (=1)

=3000 W

Spot light

= (3.625) CLF (=1)

=900 W

Sound system

= (10200) CLF (=1)

=2000 W

Projectors

= (580) CLF (=1)

=160 W

Computer

= 380 CLF (=1)

=380 W

Therefore,
Qt

= (7920+3000+900+2000+160+380) W
=14360 W

Ventilation & Infiltration of Air:

Qv

=Qsv + Qlv

Qsv

=1.23 Fa (To-Ti) No. of people

=1.23 7.5 (35-24) 500
=50737.5 W

Qlv

=3000 Fa (Wo-Wi) No. of people

=3000 7.5 (.0232-.0092) 500
=157500 W

So, Total Heat for Ventilation, Qv

= (71032.5+220500) W
=208237.5 W

Total cooling load,

QT = Instantaneous solar radiation heat gain + Transmission heat gain +
Transmission heat gain through partition + Internal heat gain +
Ventilation & filtration heat gain.
= 3252.547 + 87467.48484+ 27766.37226+ 57820+14360+ 208237.5
=354617.5 W
=354.6175 kW
=101.3193 TR (1 TR=3.5 kW)
Adding safety factor of 25%, total load becomes,
QT = 129.8379+ 129.8379 .25 = 126.6491 TR

So, Total Cooling Load for the Hall is around 126.6491ton of refrigeration.
