DESIGN CALCULATION
There are several calculations needed for designing an HVAC system. Some of the basic
calculations required are cooling/ heating loads and fan pressure drop. There are several
software programs provided by HVAC Prime Source (HPS) for doing these calculations, which
are free or low cost and very easy to use. The Hvac software programs provided free or at
very low cost are listed below. Please click on the "HVAC Software" link above to see a
description of this software, and how you can get one.
