Formulas and Conversion Factors

 Moisture Removal or Latent Work

 1050 Btu/H = 1 Lb/Hr

 Water Vapor

 7000 Grains = 1 Lb of Water

 Work to WATT

 3.414 Btu/H = 1WATT

 Gas

 1 Threm - 100,000 Btu/H

 Tons

 12,000 Btu's = 1 Ton

 Sensible Cooling 

 1.08 X (SCFM) (Temperature 1-Temperature 2) = Btu/H

 Latent Cooling

 [4.5 X (SCFM) X (Grains/Lb 1 – Grains/Lb 2)] / 7000 = Lb/Hr

 

 [4.5 X (SCFM) X (Grains/Lb 1 – Grains/Lb 2) X 1050] / 7000 = Btu/H

 Total Cooling

 4.5 X (SCFM) X (Enthalpy 1 - Enthalpy 2) = BTU/H

 Coefficient of Performance (COP)

 Work Done (BTUH) / Energy Required (BTUH)

 Blending Air Streams

 [(CFM 1 X Temp 1) + (CFM 2 X Temp 2)] / (CFM 1 + CFM 2)

 
Knowing The HVAC Commissioning Regulations
There are many ways to insure you get the best HVAC systems in the world, but there are regulations and guidelines that are continually changing to meet the demands of this booming industry.

There are ways to make sure you get the best, but unfortunately, not every company would do this of their own free will. Instead, HVAC commissioning insures that there is a minimum standard each HVAC system must meet to be available to you. These minimum specifications are clearly stated in the HVAC commissioning manual and each technician and manufacturer must meet or exceed these requirements.
