What is cooling load ?

The cooling load is the amount of heat that needs to be removed from a space in order to maintain a comfortable temperature.

What is heating load ?

The heating load is the amount of heat that a building or space needs to maintain a comfortable temperature.
The heating load is the capacity of a heating system to heat a space. It is usually expressed in British Thermal Units (BTUs) per hour.

Heat loads are calculated as such.

Heat transfers into or out of a room through.

  • Walls
  • Roofs
  • Ceiling
  • Floors
  • Windows
  • Lighting
  • Equipment
  • Sun
  • Infiltration
  • Fan motors


The more insulation the better.




Conclusion

Size and layout of your home, the climate you live in, and your personal preferences. However, some experts suggest that running your air conditioner for around 15 minutes each hour can help to keep your home cool and comfortable during the summer months.
The most important thing to remember when using an air conditioner is to make sure that the area around the unit is clear and free of any obstructions. Additionally, always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for proper usage and care. By doing so, you can ensure that your air conditioner will provide you with many years of cool, comfortable air.
