    Need to confirm loads from builder
    I am building a new home and the builder has installed a 2 ton unit for the first and third floor and a 3T for the second floor. According the report from the contractor, I believe that the size for the second floor should be 2.5T and the first and third should be 3T. Please look at the numbers from the report below and tell me if I am wrong. Thanks for your help and if you need additional information please let me know,

    First and Third floor
    Efficiency 14 SEER
    Sensible Cooling 26100 BTU/hr
    Latent Cooling 8700 BTU/hr
    Total Cooling 34800 BTU/hr
    Actual Air flow 1160 cfm
    Air Flow factor 0.047 cfm/BTUh
    Static pressure 0.50 in H20
    Load sensible heat ratio 0.87
    Clg Load (on rooms SqFt basis) 29960
    Btuh needed (includes walls, glazing, doors, ceilings, floors, infiltration, ducts, ventilation and internal gains) 24879 BTUh

    Second floor
    Efficiency 14 SEER
    Sensible Cooling 18750 BTU/hr
    Latent Cooling 6250 BTU/hr
    Total Cooling 25000 BTU/hr
    Actual Air flow 833 cfm
    Air Flow factor 0.047 cfm/BTUh
    Static pressure 0.50 in H20
    Load sensible heat ratio 0.84
    Clg Load (on rooms SqFt basis) 22125
    Btuh needed (includes walls, glazing, doors, ceilings, floors, infiltration, ducts, ventilation and internal gains) 17894 BTUh

    You need to contact a engineer or another local HVAC company. Trying to do heat cool load calculations here never works. Sorry
