Factors that a Heat Load Calculator Calculates to Provide Building Service Providers with the Most Suitable Air Conditioning System
Building engineers use an air conditioning load calculator to obtain information for proper equipment selection, system sizing, and system design. The data provided by the building service software allows them to evaluate the best options for load reduction. Building vendors can also obtain partial load analysis as needed for system design, operations, and control. The air conditioning load calculator also aids building contractors in sizing the appropriate air-conditioning system based on heat gain and/or losses in buildings. If it is cold outside, the building engineers can add in the heat loss from space, while removing the amount of heat gain if it is hot outside. Heat gain or heat loss in a building depends upon a variety of factors such as: · The temperature difference between outside temperature and the desired temperature · The type of construction and the amount of insulation in a building’s...
