    Data Sizing Unit
Click For Summary
Zone sizing data in HAP reflects the overall heating and cooling requirements for a specific space, while terminal unit sizing data pertains to the specific heating and cooling needs of the terminal unit serving that zone. The terminal unit typically receives pre-treated primary air, leading to different heating and cooling requirements compared to the zone itself. This can result in scenarios where the maximum cooling sensible load for the zone exceeds the sensible coil load of the terminal unit. The difference in entering temperatures between the terminal unit and the room temperature contributes to this discrepancy. Understanding these distinctions is crucial for accurate HVAC system design and performance.

What's the difference between zone sizing data and terminal unit sizing data in HAP and is it possible that the maximum cooling sensible load for the zone be greater than the Sensible coil load of the terminal unit as indicated in the system design report attached .Note that it is a single space for one zone and the terminal unit only feeds this zone .
Thanks

We use Trace in my office, but the difference should be that the terminal unit should be receiving pre-treated primary air, so its heating/cooling requirements will be different from the room's (zone's) heating/cooling requirements. E.G, it will generally have a lower coil entering temperature than the room temperature.
 
Had my central air system checked when it sortta wasn't working. I guess I hadn't replaced the filter. Guy suggested I might want to get a UV filter accessory. He said it would "kill bugs and particulates". I know UV can kill the former, not sure how he thinks it's gonna murder the latter. Now I'm finding out there's more than one type of UV filter: one for the air flow and one for the coil. He was suggesting we might get one for the air flow, but now we'll have to change the bulb...
