Heating/Cooling System Sizing Why it matters
• Provide comfort & humidity control
• Reduce the possibility of indoor mold and mildew.
• Translate to smaller equipment.
• Optimize installed cost. • Reduce operating cost.
• Improve reliability.
• Reduce airflow noise both internal and external.
• Minimize service loads imposed on utility grids.
• Keep utility cost more constant

Understand the Basic Science of Load Sizing
• What Affects your Load:
– Primary Summer Loads • Windows • Internal Loads: Lighting,
Oven, Dryer, Dishwasher • Other Exterior Walls
I.e a Pizza Making party at 4PM on a hot day of the year.

Understand the Basic Science of Load Sizing
• What Affects your Load:
•Primary Winter Loads
– Heat Loss Through Exterior Walls Via Conduction
– Outside air into your home (Ventilation, Infiltration)
– I.e. Middle of the night with no lights, equipment going on very cold day.

Manual J Step 3: Select Values of Components
• For new construction assemblies:
![Page 25: Residential HVAC Load Sizing Training October 14, 2015 · PDF fileResidential HVAC Load Sizing Training October 14, 2015 David Kaiser Green Code Plan Reviewer](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051201/5a7015067f8b9aac538b9864/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Manual J Step 3: Select Values of Components
• For existing construction components: - Use the current assembly value
• Used during level 3 alterations and additions when a portion of the building is being left alone but a new HVAC system is being added.
![Page 26: Residential HVAC Load Sizing Training October 14, 2015 · PDF fileResidential HVAC Load Sizing Training October 14, 2015 David Kaiser Green Code Plan Reviewer](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051201/5a7015067f8b9aac538b9864/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

• Summer exterior Temperature = 91 • Summer interior Temperature = 75 • Winter exterior Temperature = 17 • Winter interior Temperature = 70
• number of occupants living in the home = # of bedrooms + 1 • estimated or measured building air-leakage values (infiltration) - If software gives option choose “average” or equivalent
between 5 and 7 ACH50, (between 0.25 and 0.35 natural ACH) • mechanical ventilation = amount required by IMC • summary of lighting and appliances • Sensible Heat Ratio (SHR) = between 0.70 and 0.75
