All cfm values are bond on standard air.

This is a preliminary estimate of the cumber of diffusers needed.
4. Measure the length and count the number of elbows in each feeder duct. Determine Btuh capacity of each feeder duct from Table 4. Use Table 4 (Section A) for side-wall and Boor diffusers and Table 4 (Section B) for baseboard diffusers.
5. If the total Btuh capacity of all feeders to each room or area equals or exceeds the heat loss of that room or area, the number of feeders initially chosen is satisfactory. If the heat loss exceeds the Btuh capacity of the feeders, use and locate additional diffusers and feeder ducts.
6. The cfm values in Table 4 are used for designing the return-duct system.
Perimeter-Radial System in Crawl Space or Base ment Construction
The perimeter concept of warm air heating has been ap plied to crawl-space and basement homes by locating the diffusers in the perimeter location and by warming the area underneath the floor of such structures. Although the con struction of the crawl space and the foundation wall is the responsibility of the architect and the general contractor, it is important that the engineer check the construction to make certain that it will not adversely affect the perform ance of the heating system. Details on crawl-space con struction are shown in Manual 4 of the National Warm Air Heating and Air Conditioning Association* The crawl space or basement should be heated to provide warm floors.
A simplified design procedure* for an individual duct sys tem is summarized as follows:
1. Calculate the heat loss of each room or area using the method explained in Chapter 12. Consider the basement or crawl space as a part of the structure and calculate its heat loss. Information in Manual 3s supplements that contained in Chapter 12, particularly with respect to crawl-space heat losses.
2. Determine the required furnace-bonnet capacity from the heat loss of the building.
3. Locate the diffusers on the plan. Allow at least one dif
fuser for each exposed wall in each room or area of building, and locate them preferably beneath window areas. For resi dential installations limit each diffuser to a maximum of 7,000 Btuh.
4. Determine the required Btuh delivery of each diffuser. Where more than one diffuser is used, per room; proportion the heat loss equally among all diffusers.
5. Measure length and count number of elbows in each duct. From Table 5, determine the duct size (5 or 6-in. diameter) needed. Section A is for 5-in. duct. Section B is for 6-in. duct using side-wall or floor diffusers, and Section C is for 6-in. duct using baseboard diffusers.
Perimeter Extended-Plenum Systems in Crawl-
Space or Basement Construction
The considerations involved in the design of extendedplenum systems are essentially the same as those of the in dividual pipe system. A simplified design procedure is sum marized as follows:
1. Calculate the heat loss of each room or area using the method explained in Chapter 12. Consider the basement or crawl space as a part of the structure and calculate its heat loss. Information in Manual 3** supplements that contained in Chapter 12, particularly with respect to crawi-epace beat losses.
2. Determine the required furnace-bonnet capacity from the heat loss of the building.
3. Locate the diffusers on the plan. Allow at least one dif fuser for each exposed wall in each room or area of building, and preferably beneath window areas. For residential installa tions limit each diffuser to a maximum of 7,000 Btuh.
4. Determine the required Btuh delivery of each diffuser. Where more than one diffuser is used per room, proportion the heat loss equally among all diffusers.
5. Measure the length of each duct and count number of elbows from the extended plenum to the diffuser. Note whether top or side plenum take-offs are to be used. From Table 6, determine the duct size needed. (Note: Use that section of Table 6, Sections A to F, which applies both to the type of plenum take-off and diffuser to be used.)
6. The cfm values in Table 6 are used with Table 7 for

Design of .Return Duct System for Perimeter In stallations
With perimeter systems designed in accordance with the foregoing simplified procedures, there is a circulating head
of only 0.05 in. water available on the return side of the system. It is therefore necessary that the return ducts be adequately sized and be as short and straight as practicable. The return grilles may be centrally located, and tbe ducts may be located in the attic or other unheated spaces pro vided they are adequately insulated. Return air may be
