Equipment Sizing report

The Equipment Sizing report details the room and plant specific equipment sizing, along with temperature and humidity for both summer and winter hours a design day. The graphical illustrations for room temperature and humidity are also available in this report.


SettingDescription
Room Equipment Lists the equipment in each room that contribute in simulation calculations.
Plant Equipment Lists the equipment in all types of plants in the current project that are taken in simulation calculations. The duty values for each plant is also computed.


Temperature and Humidity Lists the hourly temperature and humidity values in both summer and winter days.


Room Temperatures Graph Contains controls used to view a graphical report of the simulation room temperatures result. Select a room from the list to update the graph.


The temperature graph for selected room can be displayed. The pattern of the temperature for every hours of a day is shown as a colored curve.
  • Temperature - The temperature values are displayed on the graph's vertical (Y) axis. The scale is automatically adjusted when viewing smaller or larger values making it easier to distinguish the separate graph curves.
  • Hour- The 24 hours time of the design day are displayed on the graph's horizontal (X) axis.
  • Curve - Room temperature distribution patten for the selected room for summer and winter days are displayed with color coded curves. The color codes are described in the graph legend. The curves and legend are interactive, providing you with pop up help windows.
Room Humidity Graph Contains controls used to view a graphical report of the simulation room humidity result. Select a room from the list to update the graph.


The humidity graph for selected room can be displayed. The pattern of the humidity for every hours of a day is shown as a colored curve.
  • Humidity - The humidity values are displayed on the graph's vertical (Y) axis. The scale is automatically adjusted when viewing smaller or larger values making it easier to distinguish the separate graph curves.
