Spec Plan I: Heating and Cooling

what need to do —

Select type of HVAC system:

— gas heat
— radiator distribution
— centralized air, etc.

• Note type of HVAC and distribution system. Also note any alternative energy systems such as solar, wind, etc.
  
• Consider split HVAC zones for 2-story homes or for homes larger than 2500 sq. feet.

Take a look at climate control systems that can pay for themselves over time

• Double check placement of air registers and other duct work. Registers should be place under windows for better air circulation and not in areas of the room that impede the placement of furniture.
  
• Ask your local utility, gas company, or HVAC supplier for an energy audit. They will recommend the most efficient placement for HVAC systems. A little extra design can save you later in lost energy costs.
  
• Your duct system should support air flow for allergy control and other potential irritants.
