Manual J Deep Dive (and Selecting HVAC Equipment with Manual S)- Part 1 of 2

Alex Meaney is my trainer when I level up on HVAC design calculations, and he came to visit us and share some of his expertise. Alex reveals what the J stands for and why you should never round up the tonnage from your Manual J software, and gives two rules for Manual S: 1. Never use AHRI data 2. Meet the latent load while not going too far over the sensible load (more in part 2) Check out Alex Meaney's trainings: https://MeanHVAC.com ASHRAE Weather Data Map: http://ashrae-meteo.info/v2.0/ Watch Matt Risinger's video on the Build Show about my Manual J report tour:    • Your HVAC specs might be COMPLETELY wrong:...   Learn more about the Science of Homes: https://BuildingPerformanceWorkshop.com Watch the first-ever TV series about the Science of Homes: https://HomeDiagnosis.tv
