To determine the appropriate size of HVAC equipment, we measure HVAC output in British thermal units (BTUs). It requires approximately 25 BTUs to heat or cool 1 square foot of space. To properly size your HVAC equipment, multiply your building's square footage by 25 to find the total BTUs needed.
Proper ventilation is crucial for ensuring your jobsite has healthy, clean air. Typical venting requirements ask that vent terminals be at least 1 foot from any door, window or inlet to the building and that the bottom of the vent terminal be at least 3 feet above any forced air inlet located within 10 feet. However, as efficiency standards increase, there are more special venting requirements for HVAC equipment that are designed to ensure optimal operation, sustainability and customer satisfaction. Venting can be complex, often involving specific maximum and minimum vent and air intake lengths.
Power requirements for HVAC equipment varies based on individual specifications and manufacturer details. Typically, power requirements are listed on the equipment data plate, manual or specifications.
