What is HAP?

Carrier's Hourly Analysis Program (HAP) is two powerful tools, in one

package. HAP provides versatile features for designing HVAC systems
for commercial buildings. It also offers powerful energy analysis
capabilities for comparing the energy consumption and operating costs
of design alternatives. By combining both tools in one package,
significant time savings are achieved. Input data and results from
system design calculations can be used directly in energy studies.

Who Can Benefit From HAP?

HAP is designed for consulting engineers, design/build contractors,
HVAC contractors, facility engineers and other professionals involved in
the design and analysis of commercial building HVAC systems.

System Design Features

x HAP uses a system-based approach to design calculations, which
tailors sizing procedures and reports to the specific type of system
being designed. This offers productivity advantages over simple
"load calculation" programs which require the engineer to apply
calculation results to size system components.
x Features are suitable for sizing systems involving central station air
handlers, packaged rooftop units, vertical units, split systems, DX fan
coils, hydronic fan coils and water source heat pumps.
x Sizing data is provided for central cooling and heating coils, preheat
and precool coils, fans, humidifiers, terminal reheat coils, CAV and
VAV air terminals, fan powered mixing boxes, perimeter baseboard
units, fan coils and terminal heat pumps plus chillers and boilers.
x The ASHRAE Transfer Function Method is used to calculate building
heat flow.
x Key sizing reports summarize data needed for equipment selection in
2 simple pages.
x Additional reports provide component loads, hourly load profiles,
detailed hourly performance data and psychrometric charts.
x The program is suitable for new construction and retrofit applications.

Energy Analysis Features

x HAP performs a true hour-by-hour energy analysis, using measured
weather data for all 8,760 hours of the year to calculate building heat
transfer and loads, air system operation, and plant equipment
operation.
x Hourly energy consumption by HVAC components (e.g.,
compressors, fans, pumps, heating elements) and non-HVAC How to Order
