Online anytime - HVAC Design - Manual J Fundamentals Online Anytime

Registration includes on-demand access to this online program for up to 8 weeks!

ACCA's Manual J is the first step in the design process of a new HVAC system. By following the Manual J methodology, HVAC designers are able to accurately determine the total amount of heat that is lost through the exterior of a home during the cooler months, and the total amount of heat that is gained through the exterior of a home during the warmer months. Part 1 of the Manual-J "Fundamentals" Online Anytime training will provide a review of the core concepts on which load calculations are based.

In addition, an HVAC load calculation also takes into consideration other factors such as the home's geographic location, orientation to the sun, envelope tightness, duct leakage, lights and appliances. ACCA's Manual J even calculates the amount of heat and humidity that each occupant of the house will add to the interior of the home.

There are two types of Manual J load calculations:

• Whole House (Block) HVAC Load Calculations
  Whole House or Block HVAC Load Calculations provide the heating and cooling loads for the entire home. This type of load calculation is used when there is no need to design or modify an existing duct system. Whole house load calculations are commonly used to determine the correct HVAC equipment size and match-up that is required when replacing the HVAC system in an existing home.
• Room-by-Room Load Calculations
  Room-by-Room Load Calculations provide the heating and cooling loads for each individual room within the home. In addition to the information produced by a block load calculation, the Room-by-Room method also determines the amount of air that is required to heat and cool each individual room. This information is critical when determining the individual duct sizes as well as the size and overall layout of the duct system.

Topics To Be Covered Include:

• Building science of heat, moisture, and airflow
• R-values and U-values
• Glazing
• Internal loads
• Ventilation
• Duct leakage
• Geometry review
