HVAC design for Greenfield
The California Energy Commission's design-day data for Greenfield gives the outdoor conditions a Manual J load calculation uses: a summer design temperature of 87°F and a winter design temperature of 22°F.
| Summer design (1%) | 87°F dry bulb / 65°F wet bulb |
|---|---|
| Winter design (median of extremes) | 22°F |
| Daily temperature range | 32°F |
| Elevation | 287 ft |
| Heating degree days | 1,020 |
Both seasons matter here. The heat pump is usually sized for the 87°F cooling condition and then checked to confirm it still covers the heating load at 22°F.
Electrical service from Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E)
If the load calculation shows you need a service upgrade, a second meter or a relocated service, Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) handles that through its Your Projects portal, separately from the building permit.
