Print Load Summary

The section describes what is printed when ☐ Print Load Summary is checked in the Print Load Calculations dialog box.

Load Total Summary - System

The Cooling Loads Details - System table lists each zone in the project and a summary of the calculated load values.

The load values are based upon the listed system peak value. The system peak includes the ventilation and plenum loads.

  •  Location All of the zones in the project. Zones that are part of a zone are indented and listed below the parent zone. If ☐ Print System Loads for Rooms is checked in the Print Load Calculations command, the rooms in the project will also be listed.

  •  Area The area of the room or zone.

    For rooms, it is set based upon the room boundary inserted on the drawing.

    For zones, it is the sum of the areas of the rooms in the zone.

  •  Cooling, CFM The cooling supply airflow required to condition the room or zone. This value is the same as the Cooling, Supply CFM column in the Supply Air Requirements table in the Print Supply Air Requirements section.

  •  Cooling, Peak The month and hour when the peak system cooling load occurs.

  •  Cooling, Btu/h, Total The total cooling load. It is the sum of the sensible and latent cooling loads.

  •  Cooling, Btu/h, Sensible The sensible cooling load. It is the sum of the sensible ventilation, plenum, roof, wall, glass, horizontal partitions, vertical partitions and sensible infiltration loads from the Cooling Load Details - System table in the Print Cooling Detail section.

  •  Cooling, Btu/h, Latent The latent cooling load. It is the sum of the latent ventilation, infiltration, equipment, and people loads from the Cooling Load Details - System table in the Print Cooling Detail section.

  •  Cooling, Tons, Total The total cooling load converted to tons. It is equal to Cooling,Btuh/h,Total12,000Cooling,\>Btuh/h,\>Total \over 12,000.

  •  Cooling, Tons, Sensible The sensible cooling load converted to tons. It is equal to Cooling,Btuh/h,Sensible12,000Cooling,\>Btuh/h,\>Sensible \over 12,000.

  •  Cooling, Tons, Latent The latent cooling load converted to tons. It is equal to Cooling,Btuh/h,Latent12,000Cooling,\>Btuh/h,\>Latent \over 12,000.

  •  Cooling, ft2 / ton A check value equal to AreaCooling,Tons,TotalArea \over Cooling,\>Tons,\>Total.

  •  Cooling, CFM / ton A check value equal to Cooling,CFMCooling,Tons,TotalCooling,\>CFM \over Cooling,\>Tons,\>Total. If this value is less than the value provided by the equipment you have available to you, you need to increase the supply airflow for the room or zone using the Fixed Supply Airflow field in the Zone List command.

  •  Cooling, CFM / ft2 A check value equal to Cooling,CFMAreaCooling,\>CFM \over Area.

  •  Heating, CFM The heating supply airflow required to condition the room or zone. This value is the same as the Heating, Supply CFM column in the Supply Air Requirements table in the Print Supply Air Requirements section.

  •  Heating, Btu/h The heating load. It is the sum of the values in the Heating Loads Details - System and Room table in the Print Heating Detail command.

  •  Heating, kW The heating load converted to kW. It is equal to Heating,Btu/h3413Heating,\>Btu/h \over 3413.

  •  Heating, CFM / sq ft A check value equal to Heating,CFMAreaHeating,\>CFM \over Area.

Load Total Summary - Room

The Load Total Summary - Room table lists each room and zone in the project and a summary of the calculated load values.

The load values are based upon the listed room peak value. The room peak does not include the ventilation and plenum loads.

  •  Location All of the zones and rooms in the project. Rooms and zones that are part of a zone are indented and listed below the parent zone.

  •  Area The area of the room or zone.

    For rooms, it is set based upon the room boundary inserted on the drawing.

    For zones, it is the sum of the areas of the rooms in the zone.

  •  Cooling, CFM The cooling supply airflow required to condition the room or zone. This value is the same as the Cooling, Supply CFM column in the Supply Air Requirements table in the Print Supply Air Requirements section.

  •  Cooling, Peak The month and hour when the peak system cooling load occurs.

  •  Cooling, Btu/h, Total The total cooling load. It is the sum of the sensible and latent cooling loads.

  •  Cooling, Btu/h, Sensible The sensible cooling load. It is the sum of the roof, wall, glass, horizontal partitions, vertical partitions and sensible infiltration loads from the Cooling Load Details - System table in the Print Cooling Detail section.

  •  Cooling, Btu/h, Latent The latent cooling load. It is the sum of the latent infiltration, equipment, and people loads from the Cooling Load Details - System table in the Print Cooling Detail section.

  •  Cooling, Tons, Total The total cooling load converted to tons. It is equal to Cooling,Btuh/h,Total12,000Cooling,\>Btuh/h,\>Total \over 12,000.

  •  Cooling, Tons, Sensible The sensible cooling load converted to tons. It is equal to Cooling,Btuh/h,Sensible12,000Cooling,\>Btuh/h,\>Sensible \over 12,000.

  •  Cooling, Tons, Latent The latent cooling load converted to tons. It is equal to Cooling,Btuh/h,Latent12,000Cooling,\>Btuh/h,\>Latent \over 12,000.

  •  Cooling, ft2 / ton A check value equal to AreaCooling,Tons,TotalArea \over Cooling,\>Tons,\>Total.

  •  Cooling, CFM / ton A check value equal to Cooling,CFMCooling,Tons,TotalCooling,\>CFM \over Cooling,\>Tons,\>Total. If this value is less than the value provided by the equipment you have available to you, you need to increase the supply airflow for the room or zone using the Fixed Supply Airflow field in the Zone List command.
