HVAC Load Calculations

Our HVAC Load calculations are based upon ACCA Manual J, and done through Elite RHVAC software. New Construction HVAC load is performed from plans and specs. The proposed building orientation, location, and proposed building materials are input into the RHVAC software room by room with windows, lighting, and people loads as prescribed by ACCA . Duct loads, ventilation and infiltration are added to the final calculation and the buildings heating & cooling needs are calculated.

The State of Florida requires a Manual J load calculation for each new residential building prior to permitting and specific for the building.

Existing homes may require a load calculation if building improvements have occurred and the existing A/C is being replaced, if an addition is made to the existing building and when a building is being diagnosed for moisture intrusion.
