Virginia

Virginia load calculations for permits.

Virginia is one of our busiest states. From Northern Virginia row houses to new construction in Hampton Roads, we size to the county you are building in.

Climate

IECC Climate Zone 4A across nearly all of Virginia: real heating and cooling seasons, so both loads drive the design.

What matters in Virginia

  • Virginia builds under the Uniform Statewide Building Code, which is based on the International Residential Code, so equipment sizing ties back to Manual J and Manual S.
  • Localities enforce the code, and what they collect at permit varies. Tell us the county or city and we match the submittal to it.
  • Heat pumps are common here. Sizing for heating and cooling at the same time is exactly what Manual S is for.

Services in Virginia

Every service is available statewide: Manual J, Manual S, Manual D, Manual N, Manual T, VRF design, energy calculations and permit documents.
