| Design data
|
- First/Last
month - Sets the range of months to calculate.
- Day of
month - Sets the design day.
- Room
design temperatures - Defines the room design temperatures for the
project as
Air or
Resultant temperatures.
- Include external
shading - Enables consideration of external shading. If you opt to
include external shading, the calculation will check if each window is shaded
by external obstructions at each hour of the day. Shaded windows will receive
diffuse solar radiation only.
- Include window
fins - Enables consideration of window fins. If you opt to include
window fins, the calculation will check if each window is shaded by fins at
each hour of the day.
- Fixed
temperature air - When
Include a fixed temperature air to rooms
is checked, the calculation is performed assuming a potentially infinite supply
of heating or cooling air at a fixed temperature. Therefore the calculated
design air flow rate is always able to meet any load or change in load no
matter how large or abrupt. In reality air flow rates are limited by duct sizes
and fan capacities. Also enables the remaining air flow options
Air change,
per person,
per area, and
Air temperature.
- Fresh air
loads - For all included rooms, and for each hour of the design
day,
Fresh air introduced locally to rooms
affects the room load. Fresh air from the central plant with conditioned air is
also affects the room load.
Conditioned primary air is supplied at
the defined
Supply temperature, with optional supply
Humidity control.
Conditioned primary air affects both
room loads and central plant loads.
- Maximum
outside conditions - Used to vary the maximum outside dry and wet
bulb temperatures experienced on the design day by selecting data based on the
weather profile being used for the project. Click
Re-calculate all to repeat the
calculation with the new temperature data selected.
