Simulates the cooling load of a model building by the DeST software. Presents seven affecting factors of building cooling load, namely, ratio of window/wall areas, glass characteristics, heat transfer coefficient of wall and roof, occupant density, light and equipment load, shading coefficient. Obtains the optimal combination scheme of the factors under the minimum building cooling load by studying their effects on cooling load using orthogonal experimental method, and calculates the notability of each factor.
