Heating and Cooling Loads Dialog

Use this dialog to perform a heating and cooling analysis of your design.

• Preview pane: Displays the analytical model of the building. You can zoom, spin, and pan the model to examine every zone and space, especially for gaps (areas that do not have spaces placed in them). If you find gaps, you must resolve them. Use the View Selector tools to view the analytical model.
• Wireframe: Displays the analytical model as wireframe.
• Shading: Displays the analytical model with shading.
• General tab: Contains project information that directly affects the heating and cooling analysis. See General tab for more information.
• Details tab: Contains space and zone information that directly affects the heating and cooling analysis. See Details tab for more information.
• Calculate: Performs the heating and cooling loads analysis using the integrated tool.

  Upon completion of the loads analysis, the Heating and Cooling Loads dialog closes, and a time-stamped loads report opens in the drawing area.

  Note: You must prepare the model before performing a heating and cooling loads analysis.

See Heating and Cooling Loads Analysis for more information about loads analyses.
