The Air Conditioning Contractors
of America (ACCA) is the nation's largest organization of
heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) contractors. As such, they
have compiled several different manuals to set an industry standard
for how certain processes are run. Manual J, for
example, sets criteria for load analysis and how
much power should be dedicated to an HVAC system in order to heat
or cool a specific home. While this is a great way to standardize
the HVAC industry, there are other benefits
as well. Using an ACCA certified Residential Manual J8 load calculation software can also save energy and even
help the environment.
Back in 1986, Bill Wright and the
ACCA partnere to develop the world's first HVAC Manual J load analysis
residential software. This software made load calculations according
to Manual J guidelines much more user friendly and more accurate.
The development of this software made it possible for contractors to not only calculate a load more rapidly, but also to
make the most efficient use of the space in a home, and to design
the most efficient possible comfort system for that home. This was a
huge leap forward in the heating and cooling industry because it
prevented the waste of time, material, and energy in the conditioning of a home.
In conserving the amount of
energy it would henceforth take to heat and cool a home, this HVAC Manual J
load calculation software continues to help the industry to
stop from wasting materials, and to stop homeowners from wasting energy.
This not only saves them from spending money on wasted materials, but
also on wasted energy. The utility savings alone could add up to a
significant amount of money for the homeowner, but it also helps the homeowner
to save money in other ways that they might not even have considered
when they first asked for a Manual J8load calculation.
By installing an HVAC system that
has been designed with HVAC Manual J load calculation software, the homeowner
may qualify for certain rebates and tax credits under green initiatives
and programs such as EnergyStar, Built Green, and Leadership in Energy and
Environmental Design (LEED). So the savings that a homeowner could potentially
have by purchasing a system designed with this kind of load
calculation software could be quite significant. No wonder it's
quickly becoming more and more prevalent in the HVAC industry. It's
good for the green in your wallet, but it's also good for the green on the
Earth.
