The calculated results in the systems analysis report and in the analytical
00:08
spaces of a project are derived from many different areas and settings
00:13
and can be used to review values,
00:15
compare design options and to drive the direction of change in your project.
00:20
In this project,
00:21
we will access sections of the analysis report
00:24
and values from the analytical spaces to gain
00:27
an insight into the equipment requirements and calculated
00:30
values for the analytical systems previously specified.
00:35
Ensure the view is set to reports,
00:38
analysis reports and conceptual analysis.
00:43
There are two types of report produced for the analysis,
00:46
a detailed report and a loads report
00:49
from the report properties,
00:51
select the dropdown menu against report style and choose detailed
00:59
at this point, close the system browser so that it's easier to review the report.
01:06
The detailed report is very extensive.
01:08
So to access the information we're looking for, select the table of contents
01:14
from the table of contents, select equipment summary.
01:19
At an earlier stage, we specified water loops for chilled condenser and hot water.
01:25
The analysis report shows the necessary equipment for the water loops
01:29
and the calculated values based on the project variables previously established
01:36
at an earlier stage. An air system was also defined
01:39
and the report shows the calculated values for the cooling coil in the air system.
01:43
We named a
01:44
U 01.
01:47
Scroll further down the report to the section on heating coils to review the
01:52
calculated values for the zone equipment applied to each of the analytical spaces.
01:60
The report also contains information on the fans
02:03
and pumps specified in the analytical systems.
02:08
Finally scroll down to the H VAC sizing summary where the
02:12
calculated values for cooling design load and flow rates can be seen
02:20
from the report properties change the report's style to loads.
02:28
The loads report has less information is easier to
02:31
navigate and is broken down into three main areas.
02:36
Zone load summary
02:38
system load summary
02:40
and design psychometrics
02:44
at the top of the report change the units to IP units.
02:52
The zone load summary area focuses on the zone equipment specified previously
02:58
from the dropdown menu select va V 01-5.
03:05
The information displayed can be toggled between cooling and heating.
03:11
The information includes peak environmental conditions,
03:15
engineering checks and then a breakdown for
03:18
peak loads and cooling load components.
03:23
The main section of the table totals the gains from the building envelope,
03:27
the internal gains and the gains from the systems.
03:31
The percentage contribution for each load component is
03:34
displayed at the end of the table.
03:38
The system load summary area of the report is similar to the zone load summary
03:43
but references the analytical air system A
03:46
U 01 created earlier in the project.
03:50
The values can be toggled between heating and cooling loads.
03:55
It contains information about the peak environmental conditions
04:00
and information on the air temperature at different points in the system.
04:06
It also displays the flow rates for the main fan and for ventilation.
04:13
The design psychometric section of the report relates
04:16
to the cooling coil for the air system.
04:19
A
04:19
U 01.
04:21
It includes a summary and a psychometric chart.
04:26
The table beneath the report
04:28
displays the remaining psychometric information needed
04:31
to understand the condition of the air within the analytical system.
04:37
Finally, we'll review the property values in an analytical space.
04:43
Activate the system browser if it's not already open
04:49
from the dropdown menu. Select analytical systems
04:55
from the list in the system browser. Expand va V 011
05:00
and select the analytical space one.
05:05
Following the analysis.
05:07
A review of the properties shows an updated summary
05:10
for the calculated values for peak heating load,
05:14
peak cooling load and the peak latent cooling load.
05:20
A review of the space type in the properties shows the values in this
05:24
analytical space are taken from the hospital
05:27
healthcare default building type specified at the start
05:34
open. The analytical spaces view from the project browser
05:40
from the screen, select the analytical space where a rivet space was also placed.
05:49
A review of the properties shows the space type is physical therapy.
05:55
And as such,
05:55
we can gain a greater level of control over the values used in the systems analysis.
06:01
And the results produced in the report,
06:05
performing a mechanical systems analysis and reviewing the report
06:10
provides a comprehensive breakdown and overview of your project.
06:14
Equipment and sizing requirements can be
06:16
determined without having to place any physical
06:19
equipment or create duct and piping networks to establish the same information,
06:26
performing mechanical systems analysis early and often will provide
06:30
the information necessary to make informed decisions on system design
06:34
and will provide the basis for early stage comparative
06:37
analysis to determine the optimum design for your project.
