Load Calculation

Load calculation is the process of determining the amount of heating or cooling a building needs to keep it comfortable. It considers factors like the building's size, insulation, windows, and outdoor weather conditions. By calculating the total heat gain or loss, engineers can select the appropriate size and capacity of HVAC systems. This ensures the system efficiently maintains desired indoor temperatures without being under- or over-sized, leading to energy savings and improved comfort. Essentially, load calculation helps match the heating and cooling equipment to the specific needs of a building.
