ACCA Announces ANSI Public Review for Proposed Revisions to Manual Zr – 2018, Residential Zoning

ALEXANDRIA, Virginia — The Air Conditioning Contractors of America Educational Institute (ACCA-EI) Standards Task Team (STT) announces an American National Standards Institute (ANSI) public review period for proposed revisions to ANSI/ACCA 11 Manual Zr – 2018, Residential Zoning, as a revised industry standard.

The 30-day ANSI public review period will run from July 25 through August 24, 2025.  

This is the first public review for proposed revisions to Manual Zr – 2018, and only involves correcting an error in the formula in Figure 2-2 related to Air - Air Cooling referenced under Section N2-9, Bypass Duct Relief.

Manual Zr provides procedures and requirements for designing zoned comfort systems for residential buildings, including single-family detached homes, duplex and triplex homes, row and townhouses, and large, multi-family structures that are in accordance and compatible with Manual J procedures.
