Cooling Load Estimate Form Guide

This quickie load estimate form provides a template for estimating the cooling load of a room. It includes sections to estimate the load from windows, walls, partitions, ceilings, floors, people, lights, and computers. The user fills in quantities and selects options to calculate the BTU/hr from each category, then sums the totals to find the overall cooling load. Key assumptions include sensible heat ratios, load densities, ventilation rates, and outside design temperatures.
