Sept. 16, 2005: Online Tutorial Available For Manual J Abridged Edition
ARLINGTON, Va. - The Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA) has released an interactive tutorial to support the spreadsheet that accompanies its Manual J8®-Abridged Edition (J8-AE). According to ACCA, the tutorial provides step-by-step instructions on using the Excel-based Abridged Edition residential load calculation worksheet.
The spreadsheet directs the user to the appropriate table for entering Manual J values (i.e., for windows, walls, ceilings, etc.) and then automatically uses these values to complete the load analysis, says ACCA. To fully understand the video walk-through, users are encouraged to have a copy of Manual J8-AE and to be familiar with Excel.
