Manual J
Provides the heat load for each room. This determines the amount of air needed to be supplied into a room to keep the occupants comfortable. A Manual J must perform this before a Manual D can be executed. Must have a Manual J Builder Profile on file.
Manual D
From the information provided from the Manual J heat load our HVAC engineers can determine the size of ducts needed to deliver the amount of air required into each room. This can be integrated into the ARCXIS Frame Engineering package.
Manual S
This is the selection of the proper HVAC equipment chosen to deliver the correct heating and cooling.
Ventilation Design
This service designs the sizing of the makeup air, ventilation duct and the required amount of fresh air to be brought into a HVAC system. This is now a code requirement for all residential structures.
ARCXIS Ventilation Design- Code
Energy modeling with Ekotrope software to comply with code, using the Performance Path.
Thermal Envelope Depiction
This service shows where the location of the Air Barrier (exterior sheathing) and the Thermal Barrier (exterior insulation) is placed in the residential structure. This is now a code compliance document.
