Table of Contents

A cooling load input sheet is one of the most important tools that HVAC engineers and designers possess. It serves as an initial point where all information relevant to the building, room, or space is gathered prior to calculating the cooling load. Since every building has different materials, shapes, window types, and internal heat sources, there is a great need for clear and organized sheets to capture this information. Once the sheet is ready, cooling load calculation becomes much easier and more accurate.

The best part is that a cooling load input sheet doesn’t require advanced engineering knowledge to understand. If it is created properly, even beginners can follow it and use it as a basic roadmap for preparing load calculations.
