The How and Why of Your High Performance HVAC System
December 2003, Building Science Corporation. Perhaps
the most frequently raised concern from home owners of high
performance homes is: How can I be saving energy, money, and wear and
tear on my equipment if it seems as though my system is running a lot
more than systems in other homes?

Heating Choices
1999, Joseph Lstiburek. Straight talk, based on
Building America experience about selecting furnaces, water heaters,
both, or sometimes just one to accomplish both (space heating and
domestic hot water). Not always the answers you would expect, either;
but then, Lstiburek did write this.

How to Size Cooling and Heating System Capacity, Room Air Flows,
Ducts, and Transfers of Homes Built to Building America Standards
Armin Rudd . A design process is laid out for
sizing cooling and heating system capacity; for specifying the airflow
and duct sizes to each conditioned space; and for specifying the free
area needed to transfer air supplied to closed rooms back to the
central return. The software program RHVAC (from EliteSoft) and
additional calculations are used to establish this process. An actual
builder's plan is used as an example of the design process.
