Manual J

This is for Residential Load Calculation. The most popular of manuals arguably the most important, this allows contractors and homeowners to accurately determine the total amount of heat lost outdoors in cooler months and the total amount of heat gained in the home during warmer months. It takes into account the characteristics of the home, such as insulation, walls, square footage, number of windows and doors, and more. It also accounts for climate, existing ductwork leakage, air envelope tightness, and more.
Manual S

This is Residential Equipment Selection. Following Manual J, this calculation helps us understand why and how we should select equipment based on load calculations in accordance with the AHRI and ACCA. It takes in account how your equipment will function in your specific environment, at lower and higher altitudes of varying outside temperatures and humidities. We’ll ensure your equipment has the appropriate BTUs and SEER ratings (air conditioning), AFUE ratings (furnace), and HSP ratings (heat pump) for your home’s specific needs.
Manual D

On to Step 3; Duct Design! Whether you’re replacing an old, worn down duct system, or building a new home, duct design is crucial to avoiding unnecessary energy expenses, uneven cooling throughout the home, and a noisy HVAC system. You’ll need properly sized ductwork and strategic placement of return grills and supply plenum to avoid these outcomes! They’re based on Manual J calculations (see, manual J is very important!) and your home’s floor plan. Your main room will need more air supply while your bathroom will need less; this is what Manual D can do for you.
Manual N

These are for our companies and corporations; Commercial Load Calculations. This is how your contractors will meet those complicated HVAC code requirements for your new commercial building. It will include material, assembly, and operation necessities so your business can operate safely and efficiently. With Manual N, you can rest easy knowing your equipment is properly sized for your building; too big or too small, and you’ll be facing high energy costs and a very warm summer indoors!

Take the Stress Away with a Marrs Prepared Manual J

Having a correctly sized heating and cooling system for your home is absolutely imperative to ensuring you and your family’s comfort during warm summer months, and keeping your monthly energy costs low. More than that, a proper load calculation, performed in accordance with the Manual J 8th Edition procedure, is often required by national building codes, state and local jurisdictions.

As a architect, engineer, general contractor, HVAC contractor, or a homeowner, this can be quite an overwhelming and confusing process. However, it’s necessary to both meet code and ensure your home is operating a peak efficiency. There are so many benefits of using Manual J load calculations. Namely, it ensures your unit can keep your home at the desired, comfortable temperature we take for granted too often. It will also ensure you don’t fall victim to short cycling, an incredibly expensive symptom of an improperly sized system.
