How to calculate sensible heat load
This calculator finds sensible heat load from airflow and temperature difference — the same core psychrometric relationship used for sensible heat calculations.
How the calculation works
Sensible heat load = 1.08 × Airflow × Temperature difference.
Example
600 CFM with a 15°F temperature difference: 1.08×600×15 = 9,720 BTU/hr.
Frequently asked questions

Pro Tips for Sensible Heat Load
- This calculates sensible (temperature-related) load only — add latent (moisture-related) load separately for total system heating/cooling requirement.
- The 1.08 constant is standard for sea-level air density in imperial units — confirm whether your application needs an altitude adjustment.
Common Sensible Heat Load Mistakes to Avoid
- Using this sensible heat figure alone as the complete HVAC load, without adding the separately calculated latent heat component.
