Carrier’s Hourly Analysis Program (HAP) is a computer tool which assists engineers in designing HVAC systems for commercial buildings. HAP is two tools in one. First it is a tool for estimating loads and designing systems. Second, it is a tool for simulating building energy use and calculating energy costs. In this capacity it is useful for LEED®, schematic design and detailed design energy cost evaluations. HAP uses the ASHRAE transfer function method for load calculations and detailed 8,760 hour-by-hour simulation techniques for the energy analysis.
