I recently put a two story addition on my house and the city is
requiring me to fill out a Manual J worksheet. I hired a guy to do
all the duct work and hook-up to my furance. I also asked him to fill
out a Manual J worksheet. Unfortunately, he did not complete it right
and the city has rejected it. Does anyone know how to do these
calculations:

1. Htg Load (Btuh)
2. Clg Load (Btuh)
3. Htg AVF (cfm)
4. Clg AVF (cfm)

I have the square footage of each room in the house. I have the form
in Excel if anyone wants me to email it to them. Any direction would
help. Thank you so much in advance for your advice.

Thanks
John

Yes! How much does it pay?
Really, I hope you didn't pay him much. If he couldn't do the calcs, how do
you know that the furnace will handle the load and that the ducts are sized
right?

You need to know more than the sq. ft. of the rooms. You need to know the
heat loss/gain of the house/rooms amongst other things.
