MIKE BRONSON: Heating and cooling loads analysis
00:04
determines the heating and cooling demands of the building
00:06
model.
00:07
In this video, we are going to review and adjust
00:09
the space settings in the MEP model
00:12
preparing it for analysis.
00:14
We will start by opening the existing small medical center
00:17
analysis running model.
00:19
It's important to understand you cannot create a loads analysis
00:22
on a model until you set the computation mode to include
00:25
volume.
00:27
Go to the Analise tab, select the dropdown arrow
00:31
from the space its own panel and select
00:33
Area And Volume Computations.
00:36
Here's where you want to make sure your area and volumes is
00:39
selected.
00:40
OK, to continue.
00:42
Now we can set the mechanical space information,
00:46
go to your project browser and open the 01 ground floor HVHC
00:50
plan, zoom into your scope of work area and select one
00:53
of the mechanical spaces.
00:56
On the property's box, scroll down to your energy analysis
01:01
category and select Space Types, select the dropdown buttons
01:07
on the far right scroll through the list
01:09
until you find the appropriate type.
01:11
Use the filter at the to top to isolate your space type
01:14
choices more quickly.
01:16
Select the space type you need.
01:18
In this case, we will select Exam Treatment OK, to continue.
01:26
Make sure and set the specified supply airflow CFM
01:30
value at this point to your design requirements.
01:32
In this case, we'll choose 300.
01:37
During your initial building of supply air system
01:39
the space, to fuse your fellow CFM value
01:42
should have also been set at that time.
01:47
Continue studying the other spaces in your workshop area.
01:50
Select the next space, scroll down
01:52
to Space Type, isolate your [? search, ?]
01:56
select the correct space type name, OK, to continue.
02:00
Remember to set your specified supply airflow design
02:04
value as well.
02:06
Again, select the next space, Space Type,
02:10
isolate the category, select your space type,
02:15
scroll up to flow and set your supply airflow.
02:20
Continue on to the next one.
02:22
Based type as well.
02:24
Isolate again.
02:26
And select a space name.
02:30
Once you complete modifying the main mechanical spaces
02:33
your model will now be ready for running your heating
02:35
and cooling loads analysis.
