Home/Services/HVAC Load & Energy Calcs
Manual J · Manual N / Std 183 · Florida Energy Code · EnergyGauge

Sizing that matches the building, not a rule of thumb.

Room-by-room heating and cooling loads calculated from your actual plans — envelope, glass, orientation, ventilation and internal gains — then verified against the Florida Energy Code compliance path for your project. The result is equipment sized to the load, airflow the ducts can actually carry, and a submittal that answers the reviewer.

What we deliver

The calculation package behind a permit-ready submittal.

Both halves matter: the load establishes the requirement, the code path proves compliance.

Room-by-room load calculation

Heating and cooling loads calculated space by space from the plans — walls, roof, glass, orientation, occupancy and ventilation. Residential work follows ACCA Manual J; commercial work follows Manual N / ANSI/ASHRAE/ACCA Standard 183.

Florida Energy Code compliance

Residential and commercial performance paths, run in the approved software for the Florida edition your permit is filed under. Compliance report delivered as native software output, not a worksheet summary.

Equipment selection & sizing

Capacities checked against the calculated load at real design conditions — sensible, latent and heating — with airflow and static pressure that the duct system can support. Manual S basis.

Ventilation & outdoor air

Outdoor-air and exhaust coordination for the occupancy and use, so the ventilation rate is a documented design value rather than an assumption inherited from an old schedule.

Duct & airflow coordination

System airflow consistent across the calculation, the equipment selection and the drawing notes, so the number on the energy report and the number on the plan are the same number.

Existing-building & renovation work

Alterations, additions and system replacements — including the code provisions that apply to work on existing buildings, which are not the same as new construction.

Codes & standards we work to

Method, code path and software, named accurately.

ACCA Manual J

Residential heating and cooling load calculation — room-by-room.

ACCA Manual N / ANSI/ASHRAE/ACCA Standard 183

Commercial load calculation method.

ACCA Manual S

Equipment selection and sizing against the calculated load.

Florida Building Code, Energy Conservation

The compliance path the permit is filed under — residential and commercial are separate chapters and separate forms.

EnergyGauge

The Florida approved-software family used for compliance runs — Summit for commercial, EnergyGauge USA for residential.

ASHRAE 62.1 / 62.2

Ventilation rate basis for commercial and residential occupancies.

Florida Mechanical Code

Ventilation, exhaust and equipment installation requirements.

ASHRAE 90.1 / 55

Envelope, system and thermal-comfort reference where the project scope calls for it.

Project types

From a single-family addition to a full commercial fit-out.

Deliverables

What lands in your inbox, and in the permit set.

Load calculation report

Component and space-by-space tables, design conditions, and the assumptions the calculation rests on.

Energy code compliance report

Native approved-software output for the applicable Florida path, identified by project.

Equipment sizing summary

Required capacities and airflow, written so the mechanical contractor selects to the requirement.

Ventilation & exhaust summary

Outdoor-air and exhaust values by space, with the basis stated.

Assumptions & inputs record

Every input with where it came from — plan sheet, specification or design decision.

Permit support

Response to energy and mechanical review comments, and a revised calculation when the scope changes.
