Carrier Block Load 4.2: Whole-Building HVAC Load Analysis

Carrier Block Load 4.2 is a specialized engineering software tool designed for calculating peak heating and cooling loads for entire commercial buildings or distinct building zones. It enables HVAC designers to accurately size central plant equipment and primary air handling systems based on the collective demand of all spaces.

Key Features & Capabilities

1. Whole-Building & Zonal Load Analysis

• Block Load Calculations: Determines the total peak cooling and heating load for an entire building or large zones (blocks), which is essential for sizing chillers, boilers, and central air handlers.

• Diverse Space Types: Allows for the input of multiple spaces with different occupancy, schedules, and thermal characteristics to create a comprehensive building model.

2. Robust Engineering Calculation Methods

• RTS (Radiant Time Series) Method: Employs Carrier's sophisticated RTS methodology, an industry-respected dynamic approach for calculating accurate cooling loads.

• ASHRAE-Based Algorithms: Utilizes engineering standards and methods aligned with ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers) principles.

3. Streamlined Project Input & Management

• Detailed Building Descriptions: Inputs for construction materials (walls, roofs, windows), internal loads (people, lighting, equipment), and operational schedules.

• Weather Data Integration: Includes access to typical meteorological year (TMY) data for thousands of locations worldwide to ensure location-specific accuracy.

4. Comprehensive Reporting

• System Sizing Reports: Generates detailed summaries of peak block loads, providing the critical data needed to select and specify central HVAC equipment.

• Load Component Breakdown: Offers insights into the contribution of each load component (solar, conduction, internal gains, infiltration), aiding in design optimization.
