Standards

Built on the Standards
Engineers Trust

HVAKR implements the ASHRAE RTS method and ACCA Manual J principles — the same standards your PE stamp depends on.

ASHRAE ACCA

What We Validate

Rigorous by Design

Every calculation in HVAKR has been verified against ASHRAE standards and audited by third parties.

01

Local Weather & Solar Data

Pulls verified ASHRAE weather data by latitude/longitude for accurate peak load analysis at your exact location.

02

Envelope Thermal Properties

Incorporates thermal and shading properties of all envelope components — walls, windows, roofs, skylights, and slabs.

03

Sensible & Latent Loads

Calculates internal sensible and latent loads with full psychrometric rigor, including occupancy, lighting, and equipment.

04

Peak Load Analysis

Analyzes heat gain throughout the entire year using the ASHRAE Radiant Time Series (RTS) method to determine true peak conditions.

05

Psychrometric Sizing

Uses system configuration and psychrometrics to determine equipment sizing — no guesswork, no black boxes.
