Manual S

What is a Manual S

Manual S Equipment Selection is the process of matching the results of the Manual J Heating and Cooling Load Calculations to the exact performance specifications of the specific HVAC equipment being proposed for installation. Not every piece of HVAC equipment will fit the exact needs of the designed home or duct system, so it is important to select the correct equipment based on manufacturer provided sensible and latent cooling capacities as well as heating capacities.

Key Benefits

  • Verify that the proposed equipment will achieve the target temperature setpoints in both the heating and cooing seasons.

  • Verify that proper dehumidification levels are capable of being achieved by the cooling equipment, or if supplemental dehumidification will be required.

  • Select a unit that will provide the exact total airflow volume required based on the Manual J Load Calculation and Manual J Duct Design
