Heat load calculation using HAP Software

The Heat Load Calculation using Carrier HAP Software course is designed to provide HVAC engineers and building professionals with practical knowledge and hands-on experience in performing accurate cooling and heating load calculations for residential, commercial, and industrial buildings. The course introduces participants to the fundamentals of building heat gain and heat loss, including external loads such as solar radiation, heat transfer through walls, roofs, and windows, as well as internal loads generated by occupants, lighting, and equipment. Using the industry-standard software developed by Carrier Global, participants learn how to create building models, define spaces and zones, input construction materials, and apply weather data to simulate real operating conditions. The training also covers ventilation and infiltration calculations based on guidelines from ASHRAE, ensuring proper indoor air quality and thermal comfort.

Through step-by-step exercises, learners will understand how to configure HVAC systems, run hourly simulations, analyze cooling and heating load reports, and determine the appropriate capacity of air conditioning equipment such as chillers, air handling units, and packaged systems. By the end of the course, participants will be able to confidently perform professional heat load calculations, generate detailed design reports, and apply HAP software for efficient HVAC system design and energy analysis in real building projects.
