Are HOT2000 heating loads CAN/CSA F280 compliant?
Strictly speaking, there is no accreditation path for software to claim “compliance” but we feel that HOT2000 is compliant with the intent of F280. More specifically, HOT2000 version 9 (and later versions) allows for the creation of rooms for the purpose of calculating room-by-room heating and cooling loads which is a requirement of F280. HOT2000 uses a more sophisticated basement heat loss model (i.e., BASESIMP) than the F280 lookup tables and the HOT2000 infiltration model (i.e., AIM2) is also more comprehensive than the F280 infiltration estimation.
