ACCA Quality Installation using measureQuick

Perhaps you've heard of the ACCA Quality Installation, but what does it mean and how do you obtain it?

Until recently, ACCA (Air Conditioning Contractors of America) had a quality installation process that followed their Standard 5. This process involved contractors filling out hand written paper in order to obtain a certificate verifying equipment had been installed correctly. Well, now they've evolved.

ACCA has partnered with measureQuick to eliminate the paperwork portion and digitize their standard's process. In the measureQuick application, users can open ACCA specific workflows to obtain 1 of 2 potential ACCA certifications.

• Verified Equipment Operation (VEO)
• Verified System Operation (VSP)

What's the difference?

The VEO is verifying an installation is running as optimally as possible using the homes current duct work. VSP follows the Standard 5 and certifies the entire system (equipment, ducts and house).

How to obtain a VEO

Rules and Requirements

In order to ensure data integrity, the software will only allow users to obtain an ACCA VEO certificate when the following requirements have been met.

1. Grade

Rule 1: Grade of the system must be a 95% or higher.

Very similar to the grading system you experienced in school, measureQuick provides a live grade of the HVAC system you are working on. The app will display the grade and allow for adjustments to increase the score.

2. System Review

Rule 2: Pass all subsystem reviews

measureQuick breaks the entire system down into 9 subsystems, and will generate an automatic pass/fail for most subsystems based on the data coming from the equipment information input fields and measurements off the tools. The user has the ability to manually override a "fail" to a "pass", but will not be able to generate a certificate. Manually overriding will NOT affect the grade of the system.

In order to obtain a certificate, the following subsystems must automatically pass:

• Electrical system
• Air Distribution system
• Air Filtration system
• Refrigerant charge
• Cooling capacity
• Cooling electrical efficiency

These following subsystems require a visual inspection, therefore require manual confirmation from the user:

• Condensate drain system
• Outdoor equipment
• Indoor equipment

3. Required Tools

Rule 3: Use Bluetooth tools to obtain measurements

Let's face it, manual entry can be easily adjusted in order to manipulate results, so we put in rules that require the use of Bluetooth tools for the following measurement fields:

• Suction Line Temp
• Liquid Line Temp
• High Pressure
• Low Pressure
• Supply Air
• Return Air
• Outdoor Air
• Return Static Pressure
• Supply Static Pressure
• Electrical

HERE'S SOME GOOD NEWS

measureQuick can be used with multiple tool manufacturer brands, so if you already use Bluetooth tools, odds are, we can connect to it. Multiple required measurement fields can be captured from 1 tool. For instance:

• You use a Testo 557s digital manifold. With that one tool, you can capture 4 measurements: liquid line, suction line, high pressure and low pressure.
• You have a Testo manometer. Great! Manometers with dual ports can be used for Return and Supply Static Pressure
