ACCA - Manual N - Commercial Load Calculation to estimate heating and cooling loads!

Manual N gives you a faster way to estimate heating and cooling loads for small and mid-size commercial structures, a simplified version of the procedure in the ASHRAE GRP 158 Load Calculation Manual. Manual N shows you how to use the Cooling Load Temperature Difference (CLTD) method to estimate heat gain through opaque surfaces and the cooling-load-factor method to estimate solar gains through glass. 120 pp.

Topics include:

• Basic principles of heat transfer, R-values, U-values, and heat transfer multipliers
• Calculating loads for individual structural components, rooms, and zones
• Time-of-day calculations
• Peak room loads versus peak block loads
• Indoor and outdoor design considerations
• Sensible and latent internal loads
• Wall, roof, ceiling, and partition heat gain and loss
• Heat gain and loss from glass, ducts, infiltration, and ventilation
• Humidification loads
