tundra_dweller Posted October 18, 2024 Share Posted October 18, 2024 Does anyone know of any good resources (books, courses, youtubes) for learning more about best design practices for keeping the trades in mind while designing residential homes? I'm not looking to try and be a mechanical engineer, just to gain some more knowledge on HVAC duct sizing & layout, and plumbing DWV requirements. I can only gain so much trying to read codebooks before my brain gives up and tunes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steveek Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 (edited) I helped my brother on his remodel a while back — we had no clue what we were doing with the ducts at first. We thought bigger ducts = better airflow, right? Nope. What really killed efficiency were all the little leaks. Once we sealed it properly, the difference was night and day. I actually learned a lot from this article: https://www.iplocation.net/duct-sealing-the-hidden-energy-saver. Worth a look if you’re new to this like we were.
