ABSTRACT:
A method for determining proper size of HVAC equipment, recording on and off cycling data associated with equipment within a structure for a period of time, recording inside temperature data of the structure for the period of time, recording outside temperature data outside of the structure for the period of time, and determining a minimum size of the HVAC equipment needed to maintain a desired internal temperature at least partially based on an outdoor design temperature, the on and off cycling data, the inside temperature data and the outside temperature data. The present invention also provides for a system of determining the proper size of the HVAC equipment.
