ACCA Instructor Power Point
The intent of this series of MS Power
Point® presentations is to provide
instructors with varying levels of
experience the building blocks to teach the
residential HVAC design process over a
wide variety of time frames.
ACCA Instructor Power Point
The material was designed to be used by
time-strapped instructors familiar with
Manual J7 who need course material to
transition to the new Manual J8ae.
ACCA Instructor Power Point
This step-by-step training material can be
opened, modified, adapted, or changed to
meet your needs. It can be pared down to
a condensed overview of the residential
HVAC system design process, for a full
week of training as is, or expanded into a
full semester or by adding case studies or
additional examples, this material could
cover a full school year.

ACCA also thanks the following for their
recommendations and comments which
sharpened the presentations even further:

First Chapters of J8ae
Instructor Complaint:
“In Manual 7 we start with interesting stuff:
the real meat! By the time I wade through
the first two chapters of Manual J8ae I
have lost my class.”
First Chapters of J8ae
I will now try to briefly cover the pertinent
information from the first two chapters in a
quick and interesting way using the actual
12 slide presentation and a one page hand
out summarizing the exceptions.
First Chapters of J8ae
This will be a little challenging because
you are not students so please have some
patience if it seems I am covering stuff that
you all know how to do better than I do.
Drum Roll Please!
Residential Load
Calculation
Introduction
Miscellaneous Items
•Cell/mobile phones and pagers
– Please turn off or set on vibrate mode to minimize
disruptions to class
– Please take cell phone conversations outside the
training room
•Smoking stations outside
– Not permitted inside the training room

Class Objective
To provide the attendee a basic understanding of
heat gain and loss calculations principles in Manual
J8ae, to enable him or her to correctly use manual
worksheets or the software calculation procedure on
the spreadsheet in back the of manual.
Introduction
“Long term success in the
residential comfort system
business depends a great deal on
how well system capabilities
match customer expectations. To
accomplish this, contractors
must work with the client first to
establish realistic expectations
and second to install a system
that performs to those
expectations.”
Client Interview
Do the contractor and the
client have the same vision?

Benefits of an Accurate
Load Calculation
 Provide specified comfort & humidity control at
design conditions.
 Provide acceptable comfort & humidity control at
part-load conditions.
 Provide reasonable comfort at outdoor design
conditions.
 Reduce the possibility of indoor mold and mildew.
 Optimize installing cost.
 Reduce operating cost.
 Improve reliability.

Benefits of an Accurate
Load Calculation cont.
 Translate to smaller equipment.
 Translate to smaller duct airways and increased duct
system efficiency.
 Minimize service loads imposed on utility grids.
 Translate to competitively priced proposals and
quotes.
 Minimize “surprises” after the system is put into
operation.
 Demonstrate “due diligence” in a court of law.
 Provide design values for sensible & latent
equipment capacity.
Consequences of Failing to
Make a Detailed and Accurate
Load Estimate
 Cause discomfort during design-day weather.
 Produce marginal or unacceptable comfort at partload conditions.
 Reduce the equipment’s ability to control indoor
humidity.
 Cause short cycling effecting comfort, operating cost
and reducing equipment life.
 Translates to large of equipment and ducts.
 Increased installed cost resulting is less competitive
quotes.
 Increases loads on utility grids.
 Awkward position in a court of law.
Business Issues
 Your client is important.
 You are selling quality, performance and
dependability.
 The comfort system is professionally designed and
exceeds minimum standards and practices.
 Money spent on design work is a far better
investment than money spent on excess capacity.
 You are providing value-added work.
 You can be trusted to do things the right way.
 You show you care.
 You make money.

R-values “just to be safe”.
Do not fail to give full credit for the builder’s
effort to produce a tight envelope.

be open when making the infiltration
