This Quick Reference Guide deals with both programs. The full HAP program provides the same system design capabilities plus energy analysis features. The HAP System Design Load program provides system design and load estimating features. This program is released as two separate, but similar products.

HAP uses the ASHRAE-endorsed transfer function method for load calculations and detailed 8,760 hourby-hour simulation techniques for the energy analysis. Second, it is a tool for simulating building energy use and calculating energy costs. First it is a tool for estimating loads and designing systems. The Guide serves as a supplement to the program's on-line help system which provides additional information including descriptions of all input items, program reports and program calculation procedures.ĪBOUT HAPCarriers Hourly Analysis Program (HAP) is a computer tool which assists engineers in designing HVAC systems for commercial buildings. This Guide also contains program tutorials, example problems and discussions of common applications. It describes how to use key features of the user interface, and how to use the program to design HVAC systems and estimate annual energy costs.
