Hi,

 

 

 

I am in the process of installing a ducted heatpump and been making spreadsheets to calculate various parts of the system. I approached two HVAC firms and both use different values to calculate L/s and kW for a room volume.

 

I live in a 90s double glazed 4 bedroom home in Christchurch with R2.8 wall insulation, new R6 roof insulation.

 

Does anyone know of the L/s per kW and the room volume per kW ratios?

 

Thanks in advance

best bet is to use one of the load calcs to work out loads for each room.

 

cooling is somewhat harder due to sun direction, window type etc.

 

the other thing is the design itself and what airflow goes where, especially where the returns are located. someone here had one where the airflow (and smells) from the kids bedrooms went through the main bedroom to the return.
