Learn Basics of Technical Manuals J, S, & D

There’s a special touch involved in creating the right atmosphere. After all, not every party can be saved by good drinks and music alone. The atmosphere is all about comfort, and if there’s anything we at MARRS HVAC Services have learned, it’s that comfort is all about design.


Not everyone gets it right, of course. When it comes to HVAC installations, the consequences of shoddy workmanship and poor planning are often soon felt. So, sensing the changes in the air, we’ve had to master a couple of skills—skills refined by 45 years of experience have enabled us to stand out as experts in the best practices of HVAC installations.


As with most things, best practices come in the form of instructions. A proper HVAC contractor knows how to follow these to avoid inefficiencies that counter comfort. Naturally, they should base their expertise on the knowledge assimilated in the HVAC technical manuals: Manuel J, S, and D.

What Is Manual J?

Before any room can be outfitted with the right HVAC system, it first needs the right calculations. The outcome of the following Manual J specifications is threefold:


1. Energy efficiency

2. Effective pricing

3. The right fit of the HVAC system


This requires a temperature reading & measurement of the humidity level in a room. Calculations are then executed to determine increases in temperature during summer or decreases in temperature during winter.


With results showing the amount of heat lost or gained, decisions can be made as to how much-conditioned air needs to be circulated within a particular space. These and other load calculations become necessary before sizing and the selection of HVAC units and duct systems can even be made.

Additional Variables

Whether this air actually makes a difference is further influenced by factors such as:


  • Location of the building — in terms of environment and altitude.
  • Room orientation — where the room is situated in relation to others within a building.
  • Ventilation — the maintenance of air quality through the continuous replacement of stale air with fresh air.
  • Insulation — proofing a room to retain heat and prevent the penetration of cool air.
  • The number of people who either remain or move through a room.


Therefore, load calculations are done room by room, as the specific requirements of each may differ depending on the variables that have an influence.

Size and Design

Everyone loves a versatile “one-size fits all” solution. But in our professional opinion, we can assure you that custom is more convenient. In fact, load calculations will prove this. With each home built differently, the needs that each HVAC system is set to fulfill will vary. Therefore, a technician will be able to provide a custom fitting.

Manual S

After an HVAC contractor has proven their hand at the numbers, they need to access the right equipment. Manual S provides information on sizing the right parts from the best-performing manufacturers.


In addition, when used in conjunction with load calculations, a contractor can select the system most suited to benefit a home or business.

Manual D

Once this selection has been made, a professional installer can assemble the pieces into a proper duct system design, the parameters of which are set out by Manual D.


The value of proper duct design becomes notable in factors such as duct tightness, air pressure, air leakages, and eventually how air is distributed throughout a room. It’s a final step that makes all prior considerations worthwhile.
