HVAC design for Sunland
The California Energy Commission's design-day data for Sunland gives the outdoor conditions a Manual J load calculation uses: a summer design temperature of 100°F and a winter design temperature of 28°F.
| Summer design (1%) | 100°F dry bulb / 70°F wet bulb |
|---|---|
| Winter design (median of extremes) | 28°F |
| Daily temperature range | 36°F |
| Elevation | 1,460 ft |
Cooling governs equipment size here. At 100°F design conditions, west-facing glass, attic insulation and duct location move the load more than anything else, and the heat pump's electrical load has to be carried into the panel calculation.
Electrical service from Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP)
If the load calculation shows you need a service upgrade, a second meter or a relocated service, Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) handles that through its Electric Service Planning, separately from the building permit.
