On [a] psychrometric chart, this process is represented as [a] line sloping downward and to the left. This process is assumed to occur as simple cooling first and then condensation. While the moisture is condensing the air is assumed to remain saturated. Source CED Engineering course PDF: 'Air Conditioning Psychrometrics (A.Bhatia)'

Heat released by a system into its surroundings is by convention a negative quantity (Q < 0); when a system absorbs heat from its surroundings, it is positive (Q > 0). Source Wikipedia
Webel: Psy/MPsy: Psychrometrics for Mathematica: Convention: 'Q' indicates the energy GAINED BY the system as heat energy transfer; 'W' indicates the work DONE BY the system on its external surroundings.
In thermodynamics, heat is defined as the form of energy crossing the boundary of a thermodynamic system by virtue of a temperature difference across the boundary Source Wikipedia
Defined quantitatively, the heat involved in a process is the difference in internal energy between the final and initial states of a system, and subtracting the work done in the process. This is the formulation of the first law of thermodynamics. Source Wikipedia
Heat is energy in transfer to or from a thermodynamic system, by a mechanism that involves the microscopic atomic modes of motion or the corresponding macroscopic properties. Source Wikipedia
A thermodynamic system does not contain heat. Nevertheless, the term is also often used to refer to the thermal energy contained in a system as a component of its internal energy and that is reflected in the temperature of the system. Source Wikipedia
In thermodynamics, heat is energy in transfer to or from a thermodynamic system, by mechanisms other than thermodynamic work or transfer of matter. Source Wikipedia
