HVAC Peak Load Calculation Methods – History and Comparisons HVAC Peak Load Calculation Methods – History and Comparisons by Bill Smith, president of Elite Software Copyright © 2011 This article discusses both commercial and residential HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) load calculation methods, and explains why results are often so different between methods. This article is intended to be understood by both the lay person and the HVAC professional. To help the lay person, some definitions are in order.

When most people hear the word 'load' they naturally think of a load of firewood they carry into the house, or a load of dirt in a dump truck, or maybe even a load held up by a beam or structural member. All of those loads are a 'weight' to be carried or supported in some way. Such loads are measured in pounds, kips, or kilograms, depending on the units involved. So what are heating and cooling loads? As pertains to heating and cooling equipment (an HVAC System), a load is a rate of heat transfer. Not a single quantity of heat, but an amount of heat that must be continually (at least for the worst case hour) removed or added to maintain the desired indoor temperature. In the coldest time of winter, the peak heating load is the amount of heat that must be added over an hour’s time to keep the space warm.

Imperial units system, this rate of heat transfer is in Btu’s per hour which is commonly abbreviated as Btuh. In the metric system the equivalent unit is a watt and one watt is equal to 3.41 Btuh. In the hottest time of summer, the peak cooling load is the amount of heat that must be removed in an hour to maintain a comfortable room temperature. Again, the cooling load unit is either Btuh or watts.

What causes heating and cooling loads? A summer cooling load is a heat gain to the building. The sun provides all of the heat that comes in through the exterior of the building. And within the building itself, heat is generated by people, lights, equipment, and appliances. A winter heating load is a heat loss that is caused by loss of heat from the warm physical mass of the building to the cold air surrounding the building. Heat is lost through the walls, windows, roof, and through cracks and crevices where cold air seeps into the building. It is important to know the peak heating and cooling loads on a building so that the HVAC equipment can be adequately sized.
