Question
Does ASHRAE have an easy method for heating and cooling load calculation?
Use the methodology given in the 2009 ASHRAE Handbook Fundamentals, Chapter F18. Although Chapter F18 of the 2009 ASHRAE Handbook - Fundamentals contains only heat balance and radiant time series methods of calculating cooling loads, other methods are provided in previous issues of the Fundamentals volume. ASHRAE Technical Committee (TC) 4.1 has determined that time must be considered in the conversion of heat transfer to loads at cooling equipment. Although these can be determined through repetitious manual methods, the proliferation of desktop computers makes them a logical choice as a tool for calculating loads.
