F280-12 heat loss heat gain calculations

The CSA F280-12 Standard provides a standardized methodology for calculating residential heat loss and heat gain to properly size heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. By assessing a building's envelope, including insulation levels, windows, and air leakage, the standard determines the precise heating and cooling loads required to maintain occupant comfort and optimize equipment performance. This detailed room-by-room approach prevents issues like oversizing or undersizing equipment, ultimately saving on installation costs, utility bills, and ensuring equipment longevity.

Our team uses approved TECA software to perform proper room by room heating and load calculations, to “right size” your heating and cooling systems.
