Rule of Thumb in HVAC Industry

[smpsmp45]

Can we all start putting up Thumb rules for various norms in HVAC.

Like here we say 150 Sq ft of floor area is equivalent to 1TR of Ac load ( comfort) with No product load considerations.

Though we come across such thumb rules, I was trying to consolidate all in one place.

Hi there,

There is a book called " HVAC Equations, Data and Rules of Thumb" by Arthur A. Bell Jr. (McGrawHill).

You find every rule of thumb in HVAC there.

Cheers
