Option #1: DX SPLIT SYSTEM

Simulation Assumptions
Type of Occupancy : Church Operation time = 1354 hours/year (3.4 hours/day) Week End Days = Saturdays and Sundays
Average Full Occupancy = 90%

Week Days = Minimal time and office work only

Average Occupancy = 15%

Maximum no. of People = 60 Lighting Load = 2 watts / sq. foot (21.5 watts/m2) Area = 280 square meters (W = 12m; L = 23.5 m), approx. Room Design temp. = 24 C Weather Data = Metro Manila
