F280 heaT LOAD Calulations
F280-12 is a the CSA standard on how to properly size HVAC equipment. Best practices in HVAC design start with code compliant F280-12 load calculations as the foundation on which all other HVAC decisions are dependent. It takes into account various factors such as climate, building envelope, occupancy, ventilation, and internal loads to determine the heating and cooling requirements of each space. Oversized HVAC equipment is emerging as one of the more serious issues in residential construction, but by using F280 you can avoid oversizing or undersizing your mechanical systems, which can cost more to install, lead to higher energy bills, poor indoor air quality, and discomfort for the occupants. At Egnite, we are proud to announce that we now offer F280 as a service to our clients.
To achieve this we use F280 compliance software called Wrightsoft. This software allows us to input the design parameters of the house to calculate the heat loss and heat gain for each room. Wrightsoft also helps us to select the appropriate equipment size and type, as well as design the duct layout and airflow distribution. This reliable and accurate tool complies with the CSA F280 standard and ensures optimal comfort and efficiency for our customers.
Whether you are planning a new construction, renovation, or retrofit project, we can help you with F280 calculations and recommendations for the best mechanical system specifications for you.
