Exact prediction of the cooling and heating load, proper sizing of the heat ventilation airconditioning (HVAC) system and optimal control of the HVAC systems are important to minimize energy consumption. Calculation of thermal load of building is very essential to find exact air-conditioning equipment and air handling unit, to achieve comfort operation and good air distribution in the air-conditioned zone. This project Cooling load estimation for a Reading Hall of CAET, JAU presents by using TETD method. The Reading Hall considered in this study is situated in Junagadh (70.45°E, 21.

Heating ventilating and air conditioning is the technology of indoor and vehicular environmental comfort. Its goal is to provide thermal comfort and acceptable indoor air quality. HVAC system design is a subdiscipline of mechanical engineering, based on the principles of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer. Refrigeration is sometimes added to the field's abbreviation as HVAC&R or HVACR, or ventilating is dropped as in HACR (such as the designation of HACR-rated circuit breakers).

The inspiration for Building Systems for Interior Designers came when I tried to teach interior design students about all the ways buildings support our activities and physical needs—without an adequate textbook. I needed an approach that supported the special concerns of the interior designer, while connecting those issues to the work of the rest of the building design team.
