Introduction to ACCA Manual JAE Spreadsheet

   Reasons for understanding loss and gain
   Six major components considered

Doors, Windows and Skylights

   Doors: Which to consider?
      • Heat transfer multiplier
   Windows
      • Cooling heat transfer multiplier
   Skylights
   Higher heat transfer multipliers

Walls

   Above grade walls
   Partition walls
   Below grade walls

Ceilings and Floors

   Ceilings
      • Spray foam rafters versus floor joists
   Floors
      • Joists versus slabs
      • Radiant impact

Infiltration

   Envelope leakage
   Culprit fireplace and attic hatchways
   Air changes per hour
   Energy audit basics
   Impact of sealing

Internal Gains, Ducts and Ventilation

   Internal gains
   Latent moisture
   Duct heat loss and gain
   Insulation and leakage class
   Duct blaster testing
   Aero sealing
   Ventilation
   Blower heat gain
   Square footage in unconditioned space

Totals, Summary and Equipment Selection

   Sensible and latent totals
   Selecting water source or air source heat pump
