Rivet spaces can be utilized as an integral
00:07
part of performing systems analysis in a project
00:10
understanding the options for creating and managing RT
00:13
spaces is key to determining your approach in
00:16
the process of systems analysis using auto desks rev
00:21
depending on the modes selected within the energy settings.
00:24
Rivet spaces can be used to create an
00:27
energy model in preparation for performing a systems analysis
00:31
and to refine the default energy analysis values that would
00:35
otherwise be assigned to analytical spaces in an energy model.
00:40
Revive spaces can provide the means to produce
00:43
more accurate results from a systems analysis results that
00:47
will subsequently be used to assist in the design
00:50
of the physical mechanical systems created within rev.
00:54
In this project, we will review the existing spaces in a project,
00:59
then go through the necessary steps required to
01:01
add further spaces and complete a floor plan.
01:04
Whilst editing space names and numbers
01:09
ensure the view is H VAC floor plans. Second floor spaces.
01:15
Let's go ahead and look at the steps involved in creating rev spaces.
01:21
The green shaded areas indicate the spaces that have been added to this floor plan
01:26
to control the visibility of spaces in a view,
01:29
use visibility graphics found on the graphics panel of the view tab
01:36
from the list of categories, ensure spaces and the extended options are checked.
01:44
Then select, ok.
01:48
From the floor plan, it can be seen that at least one space is yet to be created.
01:55
Select the linked file
01:59
and select edit type from the properties
02:03
in the type properties. Ensure that room bounding is checked.
02:08
If this option is not checked,
02:10
then the spaces you place will not recognize the
02:13
bounding elements of the linked file such as walls,
02:17
close the type properties window
02:22
from the ribbon, select the analyze tab
02:27
and from the spaces and zones. Panel select space.
02:33
A review of the options bar beneath the ribbon shows options
02:37
for the upper limit of the space and for an offset.
02:42
If the option to create an energy model is
02:44
set to use conceptual masses and building elements,
02:48
then the upper limit is not important as the resulting analytical
02:52
space will simply occupy the volumes within the linked model.
02:58
If the option to create an energy model is set to use rooms and spaces
03:03
set the upper limit to the level above and set the offset value accordingly.
03:10
This way,
03:10
the space is tied to the base level and
03:13
an upper level so that any adjustments in project
03:16
elevation will ensure the space is updated automatically and
03:21
the integrity of the resulting analytical model is maintained
03:26
assuming the energy model will be created using the recommended option
03:30
of used conceptual masses and building elements leave these options unchanged
03:37
from the ribbon, ensure tag on placement is also selected
03:44
from the screen, select the area in the floor plan to place the space
03:51
when an energy model is created
03:53
analytical spaces in the same location as rev spaces
03:57
will adopt the name and number of that rev space
04:01
review,
04:02
the name and number and edit the values to maintain the existing convention,
04:08
changed the name to doctor office
04:15
and the number to 60
04:20
understanding how rivet spaces can influence the creation of an energy model
04:25
and how the values within R
04:27
spaces can be used to affect. The outcome of an analysis
04:31
is crucial in the preparation for performing a systems analysis
04:35
and for establishing a structured approach to your systems analysis strategy.
