Abstract
This paper introduces an innovative approach to create cost-effective supply air and return air ducting systems, aiming to optimize indoor conditions in commercial buildings. Following ISHRAE standards and employing CAD Plans, theoretical heat loads are compared with practical E20 Sheet results, ensuring comprehensive accuracy. These calculations drive cubic feet per minute (CFM) determinations, guiding ducting design and equipment selection. Our distinctive contribution lies in seamlessly integrating theoretical and practical data, fortifying system robustness. Furthermore, our commitment to sustainability bolsters energy efficiency. The study concludes by aligning the estimated 80.51 TR equipment capacity with the 70-80 TR range, affirming precision and cost-effectiveness. This work furnishes a pragmatic framework and underscores its relevance in contemporary energy-conscious installations.

Keyword: Commercial building, Ducting system, ISHRAE standards, Heat Load calculations, CFM values.
