Heating-Cooling Loss and Gain

How many of you live in areas where a heat loss is required for a permit and how is that implemented? I would like to have it in our area but need a few ideas how to bring it before the board?

    A very good idea

    Could it be done by a separate person from the installer?

    Obviously a radiator survey should be done for steam systems.--NBC

    I believe the RPA

    is currently working on this, in the form of a radiant heating and solar code.

    Heat loss/gain

    In my area we are rquire to perform manual J,Manual D and a manual S before a permit is ever issue.We are also require to do a duct leakage test or a visual inspection by the inspector on all duct joint.Guess which one they rather have.
