Residential load calcs don't translate to commercial. An undersized RTU on a 10,000 sq ft retail space creates complaints in week one. An oversized chiller wastes thousands in energy per year. Commercial sizing requires block loads, diversity factors, and equipment matchups that most techs were never taught.

Who It's For

Built for Every Pro Who Touches Commercial HVAC

01

The Commercial Estimator

You're quoting 20,000 sq ft jobs and guessing on tonnage. One wrong block load and you're under-tonnage on delivery day.

02

The Senior Service Tech

You've done residential. Now you're getting called on commercial RTUs and chillers and the sizing math is different.

03

The Facilities Manager

You manage the building. When the contractor quotes a 30-ton chiller for your 15,000 sq ft office, you want to know if they're right.

What Pros Say

From Techs and Estimators Who Got the Numbers Right

Saved us from a $12K mistake.

Our estimator was about to spec a 40-ton RTU for a 22,000 sq ft warehouse. The block load worksheet showed 52 tons minimum with the loading dock heat gain. Caught it before submittal.

Finally a commercial calc guide that isn't a textbook.

I've been doing residential for 8 years. This guide got me up to speed on commercial in a weekend. The ASHRAE quick ref tables alone are worth it.
