The course covers Basic concepts of duct design. Covers air flow dynamics and static pressures within the systems, defines and explains EL, friction rate, location, throw and spread of grilles, registers and diffusers. Includes a Software portion for Wrightsoft and will include Elite. The information covers efficiencies relating to design, installation as well concepts focusing on delivered efficiencies, operating points, fan and duct curves.
Description:
It is recommended that participants attend the ACCA Manual J Equipment Sizing and Selection and ACCA Manual D Duct Design courses prior to attending this class. This class will step beyond the introduction to ACCA Manual D to more advanced topics, including how to perform Manual D calculations both manually and using the official Wrightsoft ACCA computer software program. This class will be presented using computers for hands-on training. Participants will perform group exercises and have the opportunity to work on individual problems with the instructors assistance. Class topics will cover – Homes with multiple HVAC systems – Two-story homes with single systems – Using the computer program to generate room-by-room load calculations and select HVAC equipment – How to use the graphic design module of the computer software, which automatically calculates room-by-room load calculations and provides Manual D duct design. North American Technician Excellence (NATE) continuing education credits are available for this course.
Class Overview:
This 1/2 day class covers Manual ‘J’ Sizing Introduction Manual ‘J’ Wrightsoft Set-up and hands on training Detailed Cooling Capacity Data Sheets Air Flow Calculation Worksheets.
Class Overview:
The House Pressure Diagnostics class explains the principles of air pressure within a building and how to use these principles to diagnose airflow problems. Understanding the principles of airflow within a building can help a HERS Rater locate the largest infiltration leaks and help determine the air leaks that should be addressed first. The training class also demonstrated how to conduct a “duct leakage to outside” test and provides participants the opportunity to perform the test during class.
Reducing air leakage is an important part of nearly all existing home energy improvement programs. And the most important part of understanding and using house pressure diagnostics is that by reducing infiltration cost effectively it helps homeowners achieve energy and cost savings and improves comfort for the homeowner.
Class Overview: This training session covers issues and cautions that anyone involved in air sealing needs to consider when tightening a residential structure. It builds upon the principles in Building Energy Science Basics 100. A checklist of inspection points is provided as part of the training.
