Since we tend to associate heating or cooling with a change in temperature, confusion can arise when multiple forms of heating are mentioned. In this post, we’re going to clarify the difference between sensible and latent heating and why the distinction is important in HVAC systems.

This contrasts to the “typical or conventional” overhead air distribution cooling supply air temperature between 50°F and 59°F \[10 and 15°C\].
