what is manual J and manual D??

manual J is a method of determining a structures heat loss and gain. manual D is a method of determining the total equivalent length of a duct system to determine what friction rate loss to use on a duculator.

Both are critical to properly sizing, designing and installing a complete HVAC system. Anything short, is just varying degrees of guesswork or a matter of simply throwing it together.
IF the transmission died in your car, would you want them to use a mfg specific service manual and procedures, or just throw it together because they are "all about the same".

When doing the Manual J heat-gain/heat loss, look at fixing those areas that allow too much gain or loss; as if you can reduce the equipment size that will help the existing duct system to work better.
Though you'll still need to run a Manual D so you know the system is going to work properly. Far too many never check airflow at all...
