Different Floors sizes. It automatically creates runout ducts in each room of your floor plan and assigns them the
proper airflows as calculated by Rhvac. Reports show the static pressure loss of each individual duct
as well as the cumulative loss at each point in the system.
Overview

Calculation Method

Properties for The Manual D Ductsize Program is based on the design procedures given in ACCA's Manual D. The
Multiple Ducts equal friction sizing method is used to determine optimum duct sizes to the nearest inch or
centimeter. You can also select to size ducts based on a user-defined schedule of sizes, or exact
Creating (nearest tenth of an inch, or millimeter). Or you can select Presize for the sizing method and enter
Reports your own diameter or height and width for the duct. Static pressure losses resulting from fittings and
dampers are based on Manual D's equivalent length definitions, with the several hundred fitting
Manually definitions from Manual D built in to the program, including pictures.
