Load calculation applications manual

"This manual focuses on the calculation of cooling and heating loads for commercial buildings. The heat balance method (HBM) and radiant time series method (RTSM) (as well as how to implement these methods) are discussed. Heat transfer processes and their analysis, psychrometrics, and heating l...
