HVAC Sizing Summary (and other sizing outputs) are the answers resulting from the full heat balance sizing calculations and user sizing inputs. Use these results.
The Estimated Cooling Peak Load Components are just that - a side calculation that gives estimates of the various instant and delayed heat gain components that contribute to the peak load. This separation of the various heat flows back to the original sources is not perfect and is useful only to see the relative contributions of the various load components. The smaller table which follows immediately after the components table (not shown above) compares this back to the "actual" cooling peak load result.
