Addendum 1 HVAC Load Explorer Version 1.0.13 New Features

The document summarizes new features in version 1.0.14 of the HVAC Load Explorer program. Key new features include: allowing specification of supply air temperature for heating calculations; enabling calculation of loads for all rooms in a zone; and allowing independent inclusion or exclusion of heat gains like lighting from cooling and heating load calculations. Minor bugs were also fixed.

Addendum 1
HVAC Load Explorer version 1.0.13 new features
Version 1.0.14 has added several new features, which are summarized below. In addition
to the new features, a number of bugs were fixed in the program. Heating load
calculations work much better now – airflow rates are calculated correctly and coil loads
are correctly summed. In addition, some bugs that caused the program to crash during
cutting, copying, and pasting operations have been corrected.

1. In order to support calculation of airflow rates for heating, it was necessary to


allow users to specify the supply air temperature for heating. This is done in the
Zone Iinformation dialog box, as shown below. The Zone Information dialog box
can be opened by double-clicking the zone icon, or by right-clicking on the zone
icon in the tree view, and choosing “Properties”.

2. Calculations can now be done for all rooms in a zone. This allows the user to get
a “sub-total” of all the cooling or heating loads for the rooms in a particular zone.
This may be useful for sizing equipment that only serves a particular zone. To do
this, choose “Execute for Zone” from the Calculate menu, after selecting a
specific zone, as shown below.

3. Heat gains such as lighting, people, equipment, infiltration, and ventilation may
now be independently included or excluded from the cooling and heating load
calculations. As shown in the Light Information dialog box, two check boxes
have been added. If both boxes are checked, the program will work as before,
calculating the effect of the lighting heat gain on both the cooling and heating
load.

This feature is intended to support heating load calculations, where it is often


desirable to calculate the heating load without taking credit for heat gains due to
lights, people, and equipment.

4. Items in the Tree View may be right-clicked; an appropriate menu will come up.
See example below.
