For the cited example, Manual J is indeed not needed and is not even appropriate given this is an existing building with an existing heat source that could be used to accomplish a far more accurate actual energy usage analysis.

You are wrong and worse yet, smugly universal in your misinformation. In some areas it is needed/required by law. At least I qualify with the remarks that some areas may not be governed by such a code......
I would however suggest that $255 is not needed for a resi change out.

You might work with licensed engineers and that's fine but since we are talking code and I'm the one with the license there, maybe you should reconsider your opinions or at least not suggest that people treat the code as irrelavent just because (mistakenly) you think you are exempt from it. Frankly I'm suspicious that you are not the engineer in the firm, most of the engineers I know are not this ignorant where code is concerned.

Again Joe, all my comments were in regard to the specific cited example. Please stop quoting my statements out of context and then generalizing my statements. I didn’t state $255 was required for this specific cited example. $255 is what we charge for the better ASHRAE predictive method analysis in lieu of the Manual J analysis. For this specific cited example, I suggested doing a more accurate actual energy usage analysis which could be accomplished DIY for free.

Again Joe, all my comments were in regard to the specific cited example.

So then you are certain that they do not enforce the IRC in this case? And if they do have a code it doesn't require a man J calc? Because you assert the Man. J calc "is not even needed".
That is in context and again dead wrong depending on the applicable code.

Much as I'm enjoying your further depature from accuracy, I must get on to an appointment. Ask some of the pros at the office if they agree with your position that a man j is universally extraneous in cases like this. If they agree that ignoring the code is as appropriate as you seem to think, please post it here on the off chance someone wants to employ your firm. If they disagree with you I won't expect you to further embarass your self.

Again Joe, I only suggested that doing a more accurate and lower cost actual energy usage analysis in lieu of Manual J was more appropriate for this cited example and should be approved (either with or without a PE stamp). I am sure that there are locations where the inspectors will only approve Manual J analyses and perhaps even if only accomplished by some specific contractor(s). However, that is an entirely different subject altogether and I suspect people in those locations find creative ways to address this in less than good ways. Clearly, we are not going to reach consensus, so try to have a better day!

Hey Sailawayrb, I thought you might like to know that your external ballistics calculator is getting great reviews by the AR15 community. Really the best thing since sliced bread and thank you again for making that and all your other software tools available to us!

Thank you Hogsmen for the positive feedback. Our Borst ballistics software has been much more popular than we would have ever expected given vast quantity of similar software on the Internet. Anyhow, glad you have found our software to be helpful :-)

Sailawayrb, I see that you been active on the forum lately. I recently discovered your firearm iron sight adjustment calculator and wanted to say thank you for that one too. I always manage to waste ammo getting my iron sights on target every hunting season and this calculator is plug and play! Your free Borst ballistics software also continues to receive many accolades from the high precision long range shooting people. My barn swamp cooler that I designed using your calculator worked great and was a God send this summer.
