Whether you’re planning a small office, medical facility, or large commercial structure, our calculations are designed to help your project pass inspections and move forward without unnecessary delays.
Residential HVAC Load Calculations
Proper HVAC sizing is essential for comfort and moisture control in Gainesville’s climate. Oversized systems can short-cycle and struggle with humidity, while undersized units may fail to maintain consistent temperatures. Calcs-Plus performs detailed ACCA Manual J® load calculations using RHVAC software to determine the exact heating and cooling requirements for each home.
Our residential HVAC load calculations support:
- New home construction
- Additions, remodels, and conversions
- Comfort, airflow, and moisture troubleshooting
Because Florida law requires HVAC load calculations for these types of projects, our team ensures every report is accurate, code-compliant, and ready for immediate submittal.
Energy Code Calculations and Efficiency Optimization
Energy efficiency is a priority for Gainesville homeowners and building professionals alike. Calcs-Plus uses EnergyGauge software to complete Florida Energy Code calculations for both single-family and multi-family residences. When a design does not initially meet compliance, we provide clear, practical recommendations to improve efficiency, reduce energy costs, and avoid permitting setbacks, all without disrupting your project timeline.
Duct and System Design for Reliable Performance
Even high-quality HVAC equipment cannot perform as intended without a properly designed system. Using Manuals J®, S®, and D®, Calcs-Plus designs duct layouts and selects equipment that promotes balanced airflow, improved efficiency, and long-term reliability. Our system designs ensure every component works together to support consistent comfort throughout the building.
Testing and Energy Evaluations
To verify real-world performance and meet Florida building requirements, Calcs-Plus offers essential testing and evaluation services, including:
- Blower door testing to confirm building airtightness
