The ASHRAE Transfer Function Method is used to calculate building loads.

System minimum ventilation airflow requirements can be calculated using the ASHRAE Standard 62.1 (2004 through 2016 editions) calculation procedures, or can be calculated as a simple sum of space ventilation requirements.

Space minimum ventilation airflow requirements can be set based on ASHRAE® Standard 62.1 (2004 through 2016 editions), or user-defined values.

Calculations also consider minimum flow specifications in CFM, CFM/sqft, CFM/person which are important for maintaining adequate ventilation and indoor air quality.

Airflow sizing calculations can be based on design values of supply temperature, CFM or CFM/sqft.

Calculations are tailored to the specific system type.

HAP calculates required space, zone and system airflow rates.

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.Features are also provided for designing dedicated outdoor air systems (DOAS).The program provides features for quickly designing VRF, fan coil, WSHP, and GSHP systems, batching sizing results for many zone terminals in a single report.Features are suitable for sizing systems involving rooftop units, variable refrigerant flow (VRF), central station air handlers, self-contained units, split DX systems, DX fan coils, hydronic fan coils and water source heat pumps, induction beams, and active chilled beams.This offers productivity advantages over simple 'load calculation' programs which require the engineer to apply calculation results to size system components. HAP uses a system-based approach to design calculations, which tailors sizing procedures and reports to the specific type of system being designed.New design, retrofit or energy conservation work.Small office buildings, retail stores, strip shopping centers, schools, churches, restaurants, large office buildings, hotels, malls, hospitals, factories, and multi-use buildings and.Many types of constant volume and VAV system controls.Systems including rooftops, variable refrigerant flow (VRF) central air handlers, WSHPs, GSHPs, fan coils, chilled water and hot water plants and more.HAP can easily handle projects involving: The program is a powerful tool for designing systems and sizing system components. Visit the USGBC's website, for more LEED info. For instance, HAP energy analysis results are accepted by the US Green Building Council for its LEED ® (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Rating System. In addition, HAP's 8760 hour energy modeling capabilities are useful for green building design. 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. See what's new in HAP 5.11 and previous releases. Input data and results from system design calculations can be used directly in energy modeling studies.

Carrier's Hourly Analysis Program is two powerful tools in one package - versatile features for designing HVAC systems for commercial buildings AND powerful energy analysis capabilities for comparing energy consumption and energy costs of design alternatives.īy combining both tools in one package, significant time savings are achieved.
