Cooling Load Method Validation: CLTD vs RTS vs HBM Across 12 Indian Commercial Buildings
Three ASHRAE-codified cooling load methods (CLTD/CLF/SCL, RTS, and Heat Balance Method) were applied to 12 Indian commercial buildings (4 office, 4 hospitality, 4 retail) with measured post-occupancy peak chiller loads. CLTD method over-estimates by 8-16%, RTS over-estimates by 3… Read more →

India Cooling Load Rules of Thumb: sqm/TR by Climate Zone and Space Type
Every senior MEP consultant carries a mental table of sqm/TR ratios. They are not a substitute for a real calc — but they are how you sanity-check a number in a tender review meeting, validate a third Read more →

From Cooling Load to AHU and Coil Selection: The Psychrometric Bridge
You have a cooling load. Now what? The number on a calc sheet doesn't size an AHU coil — the psychrometric process between the room and the cooling coil does. This article walks through the bridge: ho Read more →
