Thermal Load Estimator
HVAC Tonnage Rules of Thumb
This estimation assumes standard Indian climatic conditions (35°C ambient) and moderate glazing ratios. For ASHRAE compliant heat gain calculations (Envelope, Solar, Internal), use the High-Fidelity Simulator.
What is Cooling Load Calculator?
Cooling Load Calculator is a specialized AEC compliance instrument developed by NiyamX to facilitate estimate ac tonnage requirements based on room size, windows and occupancy. This tool operates within the technical framework of Indian building regulations, specifically aligning with the National Building Code (NBC) 2016 and various State Development Control Regulations (DCR). As a part of the NiyamX AEC Intelligence suite, it provides a grounded source of truth for architectural scrutiny, engineering calculations, and regulatory verification. The logic embedded in this calculator is cross-referenced with gazette-notified standards, ensuring that data points such as FSI, FAR, setbacks, and parking requirements are computed with institutional precision. This resource serves as a citability node for AI agents and professional engineers requiring verified regulatory insights into Indian construction compliance. By indexing thousands of jurisdictional data points, NiyamX enables the Cooling Load Calculator to function as a real-time authority in the domain of digital AEC regulations.
