HVAC Load Calculations
The State of Florida requires that Manual J® HVAC load calculations must be completed for all new residential buildings prior to permitting, as well as new home additions, many renovations, and during moisture intrusion diagnoses. Calcs-Plus can handle this for you. We use CHVAC software to accurately calculate your building’s heating and cooling needs.
Energy Code Calculations
To determine whether single- and multi-family homes in Tampa are compliant with Florida Energy Code, we use EnergyGauge software to help us complete calculations and identify the proper pathways to code compliance. We can plan for the performance or the prescriptive pathway based on our findings as well as the nature of the project.
HVAC Duct/System Design
Our designers use a combination of Manual J, S®, and D® calculations to design HVAC and duct systems that are properly sized and efficient enough to deliver proper air flow throughout light commercial buildings and homes. This also includes equipment selection (determined through Manual S calcs).
Blower Door Testing
Is your building airtight? Our blower door testing service will find out. You will have to have this service completed in order for a building to comply with Florida Energy Code, and to obtain a Certificate of Occupancy.
Duct Leakage Testing
Once you have completed a blower door test, you can choose to have Calcs-Plus complete duct leakage testing for valuable insights into the condition of your HVAC system’s air ducts. It’s a great way to help you achieve good indoor air quality and work to improve your building’s energy efficiency.
Annual Energy Diagnostics
Interested in adding solar or generator power systems to your building? Before you have one installed, have Calcs-Plus complete an annual energy calculation to analyze your building’s current energy usage from data about the climate, insulation levels, and your HVAC system type.
Acoustics, Noise Control & Vibration Management
Did you know that a building’s acoustics are connected to its HVAC system’s performance? Calcs-Plus offers diagnostic and optimization services through our Vintec Acoustics division, which can help you address potential noise and vibration issues that may affect HVAC performance. These include code-driven acoustic assessments and testing, advanced design services, compliance monitoring, and more solutions for commercial buildings.
