Duct Sizing utility incorporates reporting feature for generating a range reports in various industry standards. The reports help in reviewing and analysing sizing data. Besides standard reports in ASHRAE and SMACNA formats, the Check List and Critical Path reports compile status of computed values and intermediate results of duct sizing. Such statistical data in the form of reports can be communicated to expert authority for approval or advice in design process. This will help to do duct flow assessment, and later necessary alterations in the design parameters.

The following reports are available:

• ASHRAE
• SMACNA
• Check List
• Sections > All
• Sections > Critical Path

After successful calculation for critical route path, proceed to the Report options. Selecting Reports option opens the dialog that defines the report heading.

Enter a title for the report in the Report Header field and the name of the system in the System Name field that will appear in the heading of the report. Click OK to generate report.

The reports generated are based on the reporting options set in the Duct Sizing settings dialog.

Note: Values with an asterisk (*) mark indicates that values are locked in the Duct Sizing Summary table (e.g. Velocity for Duct of Duct Section 1, in above illustration).

The reports also include a Duct/Fitting Note column that lists comments that are entered for ducts and fittings in the Duct Element column of Duct Sizing Section Summary table and Fitting Loss Coefficient Summary table, respectively. These comments are useful to keep a remark or add a note to the duct element's status for future reference.

Critical path reports are useful to review the pressure loss values at given path. The loss at critical paths can be improved by setting the Component Loss Override value in the FLC Summary table . The right override can be achieved by adopting insulation lining or improved material for duct section.

The report can be viewed and manipulated online. The report toolbar provides a set of common tools used for navigating in the report and storing by exporting it in various format.

The toolbar has standard navigation controls to move in the report pages, jump to the start or end of the report page.

The Zoom tool magnifies report content or condenses it to see more details. The preset zoom options can be selected or percentage value is entered.

The Save tool saves the current report in various formats such as PDF, CVS, Excel, TIFF, XPS, HTML or can even archived in *.mhtml web format.
