SUMMARY:How to Design Your Duct System for a Heat Pump: Intro to Manual D Using Kwik Model 3D
DESCRIPTION:Part 2 of a Two-Part Series (Manual J + Manual D) \nGreat heat pump outcomes depend on the duct system delivering the right airflow to the right rooms—quietly and consistently. With heat pumps\, comfort is often more dependent on distribution than “blasting” very hot air\, which makes duct design a primary driver of success. In this session\, you’ll learn the “why” behind Manual D and the duct design choices that most affect airflow\, comfort\, and noise—layout strategy\, return design\, fitting losses/effective length\, and managing static pressure. You’ll also see how to translate Manual J room-by-room loads into a practical duct design concept\, and how Kwik Model 3D can help visualize the home\, support planning\, and connect design intent to install-ready decisions. \nKey Takeaways  \n✅ Why ducts matter more with heat pumps \n✅ Manual D basics: airflow\, friction\, static pressure \n✅ Duct layouts that balance rooms better \n✅ Return strategies that cut noise + improve comfort \n✅ Turn room loads into an install-ready duct plan \nAbout the Instructors Spencer Rosen is a leading home energy expert & educator\, founder of Home Energy Academy\, and a recognized thought leader in energy efficiency\, HVAC performance\, and electrification. Russell King\, M.E. is the creator of Kwik Model 3D and a specialist in HVAC design and diagnostics\, home energy rating systems\, and California energy codes.
