HVAC Fundamentals Calculators
Heat, capacity, energy use, operating cost and efficiency ratings.
Sensible Heat
ProCalculate sensible heat in BTU/h and kW from airflow and temperature difference using Q = 1.08 × CFM × ΔT, with metric inputs.
Latent Heat
ProCalculate latent (moisture) heat load from airflow and humidity ratio difference in grains per pound: Q = 0.68 × CFM × Δgr.
Total Heat
ProCalculate total (sensible + latent) heat from airflow and enthalpy difference: Q = 4.5 × CFM × Δh. Includes tons and kW.
Q = m·c·ΔT
ProCalculate heat energy from mass, specific heat and temperature change. Results in kJ, BTU and kWh.
Energy & Operating Cost
ProEstimate kWh and electricity cost for HVAC equipment from power draw, run hours and your utility rate.
COP ↔ EER ↔ kW/ton
ProConvert between COP, EER and kW per ton for air conditioners, heat pumps and chillers, with notes on SEER/SEER2.
