Carrier Load Design Manual
Fundamentals Handbook 1989 and 1997, the ASHRAE GRP-158 Load Calculation Manual and the Carrier System Design Manual, Part 1 — Load Estimating. Carrier System Design Manual Part 1 Load Estimating Carrier Block Load HVAC System Design Software for analysis of building Carrier's Block Load.
Comparison with Carrier HAP, Trane Trace, and Loadsoft - The values calculated by Design Master HVAC match the values calculated by other loads programs. Any differences in output is typically the result of the building being modeled differently in the two programs. The difference goes away as soon as the two models are identical. There is one instance where Design Master is different from an existing load calculation program. Some glass loads calculated by Design Master and Carrier HAP are different. With the help of some of our customers, we ran a controlled experiment to compare the Design Master output with Carrier HAP, Trane Trace, and Loadsoft. Load Calculation Input Orientation: South Area: 40 SF U-Value: 0.8 SHGC: 0.87 Latitude: 32 N Outside Air Dry Bulb High Temperature (July): 97 F Daily Range: 18 F Inside Temperature: 70 F Peak Time: July, 3:00 pm Calculated Glass Load Design Master HVAC 2,300 btuh Trane Trace 2,500 btuh Loadsoft 2,400 btuh Carrier HAP 1,700 btuh Conclusion Design Master HVAC, Trane Trace, and Loadsoft all calculate a glass load that is approximately the same.

Carrier HAP calculates a glass load the is significantly lower than the other three. Based upon these results, we are confident in the numbers that Design Master HVAC reports for this load. It is based upon the proven CLTD method, and it matches two other industry standard programs, Loadsoft and Trane Trace. Calculation Methods Design Master HVAC is calculated using the Cooling Load Temperature Difference (CLTD) method. Loadsoft uses the new Radiant Time Series (RTS) method. Carrier HAP uses Transfer Function Method (TFM). It was unclear from the documentation what Trane Trace uses, but our best guess is that they use TFM.

Verification by Hand One benefit of the CLTD method is that it is easy to verify the output by hand.
