HVAC Manual J Load Calculation – Green in Your Wallet, Green on the Earth

The Air Conditioning Contractors


of America (ACCA) is the nation's largest organization of


heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) contractors. As such, they


have compiled several different manuals to set an industry standard


for how certain processes are run. Manual J, for


example, sets criteria for load analysis and how


much power should be dedicated to an HVAC system in order to heat


or cool a specific home. While this is a great way to standardize


the HVAC industry, there are other benefits


as well. Using an ACCA certified Residential Manual J8 load calculation software can also save energy and even


help the environment.













Back in 1986, Bill Wright and the


ACCA partnere to develop the world's first HVAC Manual J load analysis


residential software. This software made load calculations according


to Manual J guidelines much more user friendly and more accurate.


The development of this software made it possible for contractors to not only calculate a load more rapidly, but also to


make the most efficient use of the space in a home, and to design


the most efficient possible comfort system for that home. This was a


huge leap forward in the heating and cooling industry because it


prevented the waste of time, material, and energy in the conditioning of a home.




In conserving the amount of


energy it would henceforth take to heat and cool a home, this HVAC Manual J


load calculation software continues to help the industry to


stop from wasting materials, and to stop homeowners from wasting energy.


This not only saves them from spending money on wasted materials, but


also on wasted energy. The utility savings alone could add up to a


significant amount of money for the homeowner, but it also helps the homeowner


to save money in other ways that they might not even have considered


when they first asked for a Manual J8load calculation.













By installing an HVAC system that


has been designed with HVAC Manual J load calculation software, the homeowner


may qualify for certain rebates and tax credits under green initiatives


and programs such as EnergyStar, Built Green, and Leadership in Energy and


Environmental Design (LEED). So the savings that a homeowner could potentially


have by purchasing a system designed with this kind of load


calculation software could be quite significant. No wonder it's


quickly becoming more and more prevalent in the HVAC industry. It's


good for the green in your wallet, but it's also good for the green on the


Earth.
