This software is developed by Emerson

Climate Technologies to assist in calculation

of heat of any building . It has weather data

of 44 countries in Asia. Easy step-by-step

input of building parameters allows OEMs

sales engineers to calculate the precise load

requirement and help them decide on an

optional system for building.
