## Description

This MCP server provides precise thermal load estimations for residential spaces. By analyzing room dimensions, insulation quality, window orientation, and climate zones, it calculates the necessary BTU/h for both heating and cooling. Use `validate_room_configuration` to ensure your inputs are consistent, then use `get_cooling_load` or `get_heating_load` to determine the required capacity for your HVAC system.

## Tools

### get_cooling_load
Calculates the total cooling capacity required to maintain temperature in a residential room

### get_heating_load
Calculates the total heating capacity required to maintain temperature in a residential room

### validate_room_configuration
Validates if the provided room dimensions and environmental factors are physically and logically consistent

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the cooling load for a 20x20x10 room with average insulation, 2 windows facing South, and 3 occupants.
```

**Response:** 
```
The required cooling capacity for this room is 10,400 BTU/h.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the heating load for a 15x15x8 room with good insulation in climate zone 5 and 1 occupant?
```

**Response:** 
```
The required heating capacity for this room is 12,500 BTU/h.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Check if my room configuration is valid: 12ft length, 12ft width, 8ft height, and 3 windows.
```

**Response:** 
```
The room configuration is valid.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How accurate are these calculations?**
The calculations use simplified Manual J principles to provide reliable residential estimates based on standard thermal resistance and climate zone data.

**What is the purpose of the validation tool?**
The `validate_room_configuration` tool ensures that your room dimensions and window counts are logically consistent before you perform any load calculations.

**Can I account for different insulation qualities?**
Yes, you can specify insulation as poor, average, or good to adjust the thermal load requirements accordingly.
