- HVAC Estimatingtool
o This tool was builtusingformulas in MicrosoftExcel and the sourcedata came from Richardson’s
2011 book.
Pricingfor HVAC ducting and accessoriesis simplified down to the width, height and
length quantities.These dimensions determine the appropriateduct gauge to use,
which drives the priceand labour hours for installation.
