What is the rule of thumb for calculating the cooling and heating load for a home -- with and without zone heating/cooling?
What are the pros and cons of oversizing a unit -- within reason?

RE: Basic Home HVAC Design
If you are using a central packaged unit, you add up the requirement for individual rooms. It is usual to estimate on a per sq.m basis. The same goes for split units.
If you need anything better, then a more detailed heat loss calculation, using Carrier tables, or ASHREA Handbook is warranted.
