Assignment task:
Consider the fact that Balance Point Temperatures in Internally Dominated Buildings are typically lower than in Envelope Dominated Buildings. Why is it that the total amount of Space Heating Energy consumed by a building during one heating season is typically lower than in Envelope Dominated Buildings? Select one: a. Internally Load Dominated Buildings have greater Exterior Surface Area compared to Total Volume, which minimizes heat loss to the exterior. b. Occupants are typically more interactive with an Internally Load Dominated Building Control System, so they are able to optimize when the Building's Heating System is turned on by changing the setpoint on the thermostat. c. Internally Load Dominated Buildings have substantial lighting and equipment loads which generate heat; reducing the occasions and durations wherein the Building's Heating System is not required to operate.
