Planning Considerations

What Affects Commercial RTU Sizing

Beyond square footage, several factors matter.

1. Occupancy Load
2. Equipment Heat Load
3. Roof Structural Capacity
4. Curb Compatibility
Protocol Focus · Sizing Factors

Occupancy and Equipment Heat Load Matter as Much as Square Footage

A retail space with heavy foot traffic or a facility with significant equipment heat output needs different capacity than the same square footage used for light office space — proper commercial load calculations account for this.

Occupancy density significantly affects cooling load in retail and restaurant spaces.
Equipment heat load from kitchen equipment, servers, or machinery needs to be factored in.
Roof structural capacity must be confirmed before installing new or larger units.
