This tool screens one room’s cooling capacity with the public ENERGY STAR room-air-conditioner table. It does not size a complete mini-split system, select an indoor head, calculate a room heating load, or determine an outdoor unit. Use the result only as an early room-cooling reference before a room-by-room load calculation and manufacturer selection workflow. What…
Choose a window air conditioner by the room load, not whole-house central-AC tonnage. Start with room square footage, then account for ceiling height, sun, occupancy, kitchen heat, insulation, and local climate. ENERGY STAR room-size foundation The calculator uses the current ENERGY STAR room-air-conditioner capacity bins as its base. Examples include 5,000 BTU/h for up to…
An HVAC load is the rate of heat a building gains in summer or loses in winter. This calculator estimates a winter heating screening load and a summer sensible cooling screening load from envelope conductance, sensible air leakage, indoor and outdoor design temperatures, entered window solar gain, and entered internal sensible gains. It is intentionally…
