Austin Auditors has been doing 3rd party testing on behalf of contractors in Austin and surrounding areas for years. Our auditors are certified in three different major certifications for 3rd Party testing, including Air Diagnostics & Balancing from the National Comfort Institute, as well as BPI and Resnet Certifications.
In calculating the ACCA approved Manual-J load calculation, we assess the building to determine how much cooling or heat each room will require to provide comfort. The calculations factor in all construction components of the building envelope – we give each wall its proper orientation and input the walls’ building materials, i.e. windows, doors, insulation level, etc. The results of the Manual-J specify the per room BTUH of heat gain in the summer and heat loss in the winter.
The resulting Manual J provides the necessary airflow requirements to complete the third party testing requirement for Supply Air Flow Verification. It also helps to provide the HVAC contractor with information so that he can properly size the HVAC system.
We will need the below information to best complete your Manual-J. You can submit it in our contact form when you place your order or you can email it to us at info@austinauditors.com if ordering by phone.
If you do not have all of the below information, we will assume code minimum.
To order your Manual-J calculations, simply fill out the contact form at the bottom of this page with the
information in the bulleted list above. You can also email us at info@austinauditors.com.
Be sure to include the street address of the home, as well as your contact information, just in case we need to
contact you for additional details. We will email you back to confirm receipt of your order and let you know
when you can expect to have your resulting calculations back.
For any questions regarding Manual-J calculations, please call us at 512-879-3567.
