Paper Summary

Air conditioning design is important for indoor comfort. A computer program was created to help design air conditioning systems faster. The program was tested at a conference center in Nigeria and found to work well. The program calculated the cooling load of the building to be 3,194,414 btu/hr. This new tool can be used to design air conditioning systems for any building.
