Manual J Eighth Edition

 

Manual J is the industry standard residential load calculation method, required by most building codes around the country. Newly revised and expanded, the eighth edition procedures produce improved equipment sizing loads for single-family detached homes, small multi-unit structures, condominiums, town houses and manufactured homes. These procedures are also compatible with different types of comfort systems and applications such as:
A central single-zone comfort system
A central multi-zone system
A distributed multi-zone system
Dwellings that have limited exposure or no exposure diversity

More about Manual J 8th Edition:
MJ8 also accommodates homes that have exceptional architectural features and life style accessories such as:
Homes with large south-facing glass area or rooms with unusually large glass area
A thermally isolated solarium
Customized internal load estimates
MJ8 is sensitive to an increased variety of issues related to construction materials and methods including:
Fenestration loads for glass rated by the National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC)
Improved duct load models
Improved methods for estimation the effect of internal and external shading devices, including insect screens
Infiltration estimated based on blower door test
Sensitivity to latitude and altitude
Sensitivity to skylight to roofing material, curb construction and light shaft construction
Heat loss and gain for log walls, structural foam panels, aerated autoclaved concrete block, insulated form concrete panels, brick walls, concrete walls, wood foundation walls, and many other types of walls and insulation options
NOW WITH NEW SOFTWARE: Each copy of MJ8 includes a demo CD containing software that demonstrates how a load calculation is performed using MJ8 as well as a fully-functional spreadsheet that makes it easier to learn and apply the Manual J method.

MANUAL N Commercial Load Calculation

 

Manual N gives you a faster way to estimate heating and cooling loads for small and mid-size commercial structures, a simplified version of the procedure in the ASHRAE GRP 158 Load Calculation Manual. Manual N shows you how to use the Cooling Load Temperature Difference (CLTD) method to estimate heat gain through opaque surfaces and the cooling-load-factor method to estimate solar gains through glass. (120 pages) Topics include: - Basic principles of heat transfer, R-values, U-values, and heat transfer multipliers - Calculating loads for individual structural components, rooms, and zones - Time-of-day calculations - Peak room loads versus peak block loads - Indoor and outdoor design considerations - Sensible and latent internal loads - Wall, roof, ceiling, and partition heat gain and loss - Heat gain and loss from glass, ducts, infiltration, and ventilation - Humidification loads

MATH FOR THE TECHNICIAN

 

NO HASSLE MATH FOR HVACDoes math bug you? The problem is, you must use math in this technical HVAC world. No matter what part of the HVAC industry you are in, this book will painlessly give you all the math you need to know. I dont tell you how an equation is derived or how pi was developed--I just show you how to use them in the real HVAC world. Changing a decimal to a fraction like 10/13 is of no use to you. I show you how to change any decimal into the fractions you measure with. This is a book for math dummies--written by a former math dummy. You will enjoy learning only the things you need to know.

RADIANT FLOOR HEATING

 

New Page 2

Description
Add radiant floor heating to your money-making arsenal. Demand for radiant floor heating is rising fast, and Radiant Floor Heating is your ticket to cashing in on this highly profitable opportunity. Top expert R. Dodge Woodson grounds you in all aspects of specifying, designing, installing and troubleshooting today's advanced, super-efficient radiant floor heating systems. He also gives you business-building advice for selling the benefits of these systems to clients. Whether you're installing radiant floor heating in new construction or retrofitting existing structures, you get step-by-step procedures for:
*Estimating heat gain and loss and laying out an effective in-floor piping diagram
*Installing piping in thick and thin concrete slabs, through wooden floor joists and between layers of subflooring
*Combining in-floor heating with an existing hot-water baseboard system
*Establishing heat zones for more cost-efficient heating
*Selecting and installing gas- and oil-fired boilers, circulating pumps and electrical controls
*Deploying radiant floor heating in special-use areas like garages, spa rooms, pool rooms and greenhouses
*Troubleshooting and repairing both new and existing systems
*And much more!

Back Cover Back to top
Old as the Romans, radiant floor heating is what customers want today! Customer demand has made in-floor radiant heat the fastest growing sector of the home heating market. And no wonder. This healthy, quiet, economical, and clean method of heating--invented in the Roman empire--is now also durable and reliable, thanks to new materials and
advances. This guide from master plumber, longtime contractor, and renowned how-to author R. Dodge Woodson brings plumbing and construction pros (and even savvy do-it-yourselfers) all the details and know-how needed to: understand and explain the advantages of in-floor radiant heating; install, test, and debug embedded and dry
radiant heat systems in new or existing homes; create heating zones for variable temperatures throughout a house; offer hot water heating as part of your system; heat seldom-used areas and provide outdoor ice removal and other add-on amenities; select superior equipment--tubing,
boilers, expansion tanks, pumps, and controls; troubleshoot and repair system problems; avoid common errors and mishaps.
