About
Size the AC right — get a room-by-room cooling and heating load estimate in under a minute, built on the ASHRAE CLTD/SCL method instead of a single "BTU per square foot" guess.
Built for installers doing a quick home survey, engineers who want a fast sanity check before a full Manual J, and homeowners who want more than a rule of thumb before buying an AC.
TWO MODES
- Quick: floor area, ceiling height, room type, main sun-facing side, insulation level, occupants, top floor or not. Instant estimate.
- Detailed: full room construction — exterior walls and windows by orientation (area, U-value, SHGC, shading), roof, ground-floor slab, occupants and activity, lighting, equipment, and outdoor air (ACH).
WHAT YOU GET
- Sensible, latent and total cooling load (W, Btu/h, kW, ton) plus SHR, and a heating load for the coldest design day.
- A horizontal breakdown by component: walls, windows (conduction and solar shown separately), roof, people, lighting, equipment, outdoor air.
- A recommended commercial AC size (5,000-60,000 Btu/h) in Btu/h, ton and HP, rounded up to a size you can actually buy — plus a warning if it's oversized or the load per square foot looks off.
REAL CLIMATE DATA
35 cities across the Americas, Europe, the Middle East and Asia-Pacific, with outdoor design conditions sourced from ASHRAE Climatic Design Conditions — not one flat number for an entire country. Enter your own design climate for anywhere else.
