Manual J
Manual J was invented by the ACCA or Air Conditioning Contractors or America. The long version of the report is Manual J8 Residential Load Calculations. The most commonly used term for the calculation is Manual J. This is a calculation and report that provides an in depth look at the needs of residential structures load calculations. This works primarily for residential single family homes and some small commercial Comcheck projects. You can take the heating and cooling loads provided by a Manual J report and use them to estimate what HVAC equipment your new construction, addition, or alteration might require.
The R value of your insulation, SHGC and U Value of your windows, and data collected from local climate monitoring centers like airports are all used in calculation of a Manual J. There are also other items that go into each project like occupancy, the directional facing of the front of the home, and other in depth items that are built into the softwares and calculations of a Manual J report. www.ManualJs.com will handle all of this for you for only $79 for a Manual J heat loss and gain.
Is a Manual J Free?
Most of the cost associated with the Manual J are skill based. If you had the knowledge, literature, and software you might be able to create a Manual J for “Free”. However, the definition of “Free” depends on what your time is worth. If you get paid $50 an hour as a general contractor, architect, or engineer and work on a Manual J for 3 hours, then the opportunity cost of creating your “Free Manual J” is $150. This means a $79 Manual J service makes more financial sense.
