    (I.O.E, 2024-06) ACHARYA, PRAVEEN; Amatya, Vishwa Prasad
    Heating and cooling are needed in a building to maintain a comfortable environment for the human living and working inside the building. Commercial building like airport needs space heating and cooling throughout the year to make as comfortable environment for the passengers and to maintain working temperature of different special equipment which is used inside the terminal building of an airport. Pokhara International airport is the third international airport of Nepal. It is an ICAO category 4D airport and consists of a single runway. The terminal building of Pokhara international airport serves as terminal for both domestic and international passengers. This study is about the energy consumption by space heating and cooling system installed in terminal building of Pokhara international airport. Heating and cooling system consumes almost 50 percent of the total energy consumption of the terminal building. Thus, the energy consumption of HVAC system of the terminal building must be optimized.
