The rating system describes doing Manual D and Manual J calculations. A full, by-the-book Manual D approach is almost unheard of in residential construction and most homes would fail it if this is the requirement.

A Manual D calc requires a lot of data for blower fan curves, filter and coil pressure drops, detailed duct layout with all fittings specifically identified, etc.
