Florida Energy Code Compliance (Energy Calculations) Energy calculations determine whether
the structure complies with the State’s Energy Code Requirements. Procedures are based on State of Florida Energy
Code Program. This applies to both Residential and Commercial HVAC design.
Manual J & Manual
N Load Calculations We offer calculations that determine the right size equipment for your building.
Oversized equipment can cause reduced comfort and excessive “air” noise as the oversized unit forces air through
your duct system more quickly. This will also shorten the life of the equipment by causing it to cycle on and off more frequently
than a properly-sized unit. Comparatively, undersized equipment with airflow that is too low can cause distribution efficiency
drops and accelerated wear on system components, leading to earlier failure.
Residential Manual J. Load calculation which determines the size of tonnage needed to proper cool the structure.
Procedures are based on ACCA Manual J 8th edition version two and completed ROOM by ROOM in actual orientation of structure.
Commercial Manual N. Load calculation which determines the size of tonnage
needed to proper cool the structure. Procedures are based on ACCA Manual N and AHSRAE Fundamentals Handbook
completed ROOM by ROOM in actual orientation of structure.
HVAC System Design Quality
HVAC system design is the foundation for a professional installation. Procedures are based on ACCA Manual D & Q
and ASHRAE Standards.
Residential
Commercial
Manual D
Duct sizing calculations specifying duct trunk and branch sizes and cfm requirements per room. Procedures are based
on ACCA Manual D Residential Duct Systems. Equipment is selected based on ACCA Manual S-
Equipment Selection & Manual T – Air Distribution.
