Features:

HVAC Buddy Load Calc allows you to enter all the construction characteristics relating to heat gains and losses for the purpose of calculating the total building loads for heating and cooling. This app simplifies the process of collecting and recording information for presentation in a meaningful context. For this or any app of this nature you must be familiar with and have knowledge of construction materials and measuring skills to do a load calculation. In other words, the data entered must be good and accurate for meaningful results.

Comes with a "Default" project containing all the construction types. Whenever new loads are created they may be copied from the Default project or any other load within the project. Create new Projects by copying from the Default project or create your own template projects to improve efficiency. Project may be filtered by staus - New, Template, Scheduled, or Complete.

Comes with one Example Project in three stages. The first stage "Ex 1 Block" is a simple block load analysis with inefficent ducting. The second stage "Ex 1 Block w/Improved Ducts" shows the improved lower loads resulting from improvements in duct sealing as well as moving to R8 material in the ducts. The third stage "Ex 1 Block w/Rooms" is the same house with room by room loads.

Loads: Above Grade Walls, Basement Walls, Ceilings, Floors, Partition Ceilings, Partition Walls, Doors, Windows, Skylights, Blower Heat, Infiltration, Ventilation, and Internal Gains.

Opening Area Calculation: Calculates and automatically subtracts opening area for walls with attached doors and windows. In addition, if you elect to specify a wall orientation windows associated with the wall can optionally inherit the wall orientation.

Note: Many features are accessed using your device (phone) Menu key.
