What Happens with the Wrong-Sized HVAC System?
There are only two ways to go wrong when sizing an HVAC system: too big or too small. When an HVAC system is too small for your commercial space, it won’t heat or cool adequately. This can result in energy efficiency issues because the system will be running constantly to try and reach the set temperature(s), as well as potential premature aging.
A system that is too large presents a couple of different problems. First, operating an oversized HVAC system can cause a problem called short cycling: the system turns on and off too frequently. The reason short-cycling occurs is that an oversized system will heat or cool the air too quickly; as such, the system achieves the set temperature too fast, so the system shuts off. The space will then cool down or warm up quickly, which triggers the cycle to restart.
A second problem that can develop with a system that is too large is poor humidity control. When a space cools too fast, the HVAC system does not have a chance to properly remove the humidity in the air. This results in a cool, clammy feeling during the warm months.
Lastly, energy efficiency is decreased because of the short-cycling over-uses energy due to constant start-up.
