What Is a Manual J or Heat Load Calculation?
A Manual J calculation is an advanced formula that determines the size of HVAC equipment needed to heat and cool a building or home. Our team uses Manual J calculations to select HVAC equipment capacities. We also specialize in producing a computer duct design (Manual D) when analyzing airflow issues, and for homeowners who are replacing a ducting system. The calculation is based on measurements, tests, and software or manual calculations. It takes into account many factors including:
- Square footage
- Window sizes and types
- Insulation levels
- Ceiling height
- Climate and outdoor temperatures
- Occupancy count and activity levels
- Appliance and lighting heat generation
- Sun exposure
