Computerized approach to cooling load estimates for air-conditioning design

Abstract

The research work provides the basic information for the design of a Central Air-Conditioning system for Kenneth Dike Library extension, University of Ibadan, Oyo State used as a case study. The software was designed, using a visual basic 6.0 (C++) programming language, to perform a thermal analysis for all the rooms of the floors in the building. The developed software called AIRCCAD is implemented to handle mathematical equations and engineering calculations efficiently and effectively and provide more accurate information at the very shortest possible time than manually calculated design.
