1. What are the parameters required for heat load calculations?

Weather conditions, coordinates, WB temp, DB temp, etc

2. What is U value?
A U-value is a sum of the thermal resistances of the layers that make up an entire building
element – for example, a roof, wall or floor. It also includes adjustments for any fixings or air
gaps. U-values measure how effective a material is an insulator. The lower the U-value is, the
better the material is as a heat insulator.

3. What is difference between conditioned space and non-conditioned space?

conditioned space: a cooled space, heated space, or indirectly conditioned space defined as
follows. 1. cooled space: an enclosed space within a building that is cooled by a cooling system
whose sensible output capacity exceeds 5 Btu/h*ft2 of floor area.
An unconditioned space is enclosed space within a building that is not directly conditioned, or
indirectly conditioned.
