*Sponsored Content: Understanding ASHRAE Heating & CoolingLoad Calculations*

The ASHRAE Heat Balance Method was first defined as the preferred method
for non-residential Load Calculations in the ASHRAE Handbook—Fundamentals
almost two decades ago. The industry-standard Heat Balance (HB) Method has
a number of important concepts, three of which are highlighted in this
technical article.
