Cooling Performance Correction of Water-to-Air Heat Pumps - HVAC Simplified

Input Requirements in Yellow Cells - Final Output in Blue Cells

This program corrects the performance of the water-to-air pumps that are presented in Table 5.6 of HVAC Simplified. It can
modified to correct other manufacturer performance by changing the nominal capacity and demand values in the embedded
Module1 thru Module5 (Go to Tools → Visual Basic Editor →Double Click on Modules).
