Manual D - Residential Duct Systems [Hank Rutkowski, Air Conditioning Contractors of America] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. Manual D - Residential Duct Systems Review: Important ammo for your hvac arsenal - I cannot give this book 100 stars. This is one of the scriptures of your hvac bible. Skip the intro of the “N” sections. And dive into the main course. I’m once completed. Go back and run through the “N” section. Even me as a 12 year veteran in the trade, the introduction confused me a little. Everything will make sense after you read secs 1-9. The appendix has good info as well. But the most important are sections 1-9. Have your highlighter and notepad ready because there is a lot of abbreviations and a lot of formulas Review: reference reading material - This manual is a must for contractors who design and install residential HVAC systems. I worked with a duct design firm when I built my house and referred to this manual. Unfortunately, most contractors don't use software (or even long hand calculations) to design duct systems...they estimate based upon past installations and by using square footage measurements only. While this is faster, it usually means your HVAC system is oversized or undersized and will not provide the expected comfort under a wide variety of conditions. Extra time spent in properly designing your HVAC system will reward the occupants with a more confortable living / working space.

Best option
Version 2.5, just what I needed for school. Brank new, not even dented corners. Much easier and cheaper than buying at my school's bookstore.

Amazon sells this book for a good bit less than ACCA
Hank - Bless Him - wrote the books on ACCA cooling calculations, duct design, etc. Amazon sells this book for a good bit less than ACCA. Buy it and learn the "Standard of Care" for flexible duct, fitting equivalent lengths ("EL") and the multipliers to be applied for flexible duct workmanship; there're also graphs for flexible duct and lined or fibrous glass friction (NO - You can't use a metal duct Ductulator to size those!).
