Correctly mapping building loads to rooftop unit (RTU) capacity can minimize both capital investment and ongoing operational costs while maximizing thermal comfort. Depending on unit functionality, incorrectly sized RTUs can consume more energy or provide less comfortable space conditions (or both) than right-sized equivalents. Common sizing mistakes (with respect to cooling tonnage and supply fan horsepower) can be controlled with these recommended processes to help project teams avoid those mistakes and ensure effective RTU replacement investments.
