Abstract

The load in a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system is the rate of heat flow out of or into the system required to maintain a controlled range of comfort conditions in a space. Factors to be considered in determining the HVAC load of a building, e.g., building design, and HVAC system components and control systems, are discussed. (LCL)
