HVAC Heating And Cooling Load Calculator
HVAC Heating And Cooling Load: a planned Super Calculator tool. Covers room dimensions and orientation, envelope construction and r values and window area.
HVAC Heating And Cooling Load Calculator is a planned calculator in the engineering section of Super Calculator, covering building services engineering.
What this calculator will compute
Inputs: room dimensions and orientation, envelope construction and R values, window area, type and shading, infiltration rate, occupancy and equipment, location design temperatures and ceiling height.
Outputs: sensible and latent cooling load, heating load, required equipment capacity in BTU/h and kW, air flow requirement and load breakdown by component.
Formula, recorded as scope and not yet verified against a primary source: Manual J style room by room load: transmission through each envelope element as U A delta T, plus infiltration, solar gain through glazing, and internal gains from occupants, lighting and equipment. Design temperatures come from ASHRAE climatic data at a stated design percentile.
