Evaporation Load / Dehu Demand
Estimated initial water load (gal and lb), first-24-hour removal target, and suggested AHAM dehumidifier pints from affected area, water class, and editable per-class load factors.
Formula and source
load_gal = area * load_factor(class); lb = gal * 8.345; first-24h pints = load_gal * 8 * fraction; suggested AHAM pints = target / derating.
Per the IICRC S500 water-class framework and evaporation-load drying principle, by name (not reproduced); per-class load factors are editable field defaults.
