Simplified Manual J — room-by-room BTU/hr, equipment tonnage, CFM, and duct schedule in seconds.
| Room | Sq Ft | Cooling BTU | Heating BTU | CFM | Round Duct | Rect. Duct |
|---|
Rule of thumb: 25–35 BTU/sq ft for well-insulated residential. HVAC calculators above 40 BTU/sq ft — check your envelope.
Duct friction rate: Target 0.08–0.10 in. wc/100 ft for balanced airflow. Oversize trunks, rightsize branches.
Sizing note: This tool uses simplified Manual J. For permit-required calcs, use ACCA-certified software or a licensed engineer.
