Examine the Volume in the Analytical Model

1. Click the Details tab.
2. In the right pane, expand the Building Model, zones, and spaces.
   Tip: You can right-click a zone to expand all or select all spaces in the zone.
3. If warnings display for the building, a zone, or a space, select the item, and click (Show Related Warnings) to learn the cause, then cancel the Heating and Cooling Loads dialog and correct the problem in the building model. Review and correct warnings until all of the warnings have been resolved throughout the model to get an accurate analysis.
4. In the preview of the Heating and Cooling loads dialog, zoom in, pan and spin the analytical model to examine the volume for the spaces in the building.

   An effective heating and cooling loads analysis can only be done if the entire volume of the building model is included in load calculations. Color should completely fill the volume for all of the spaces in the model. If you detect spaces without fill, you should cancel the Heating and Cooling Loads dialog, and place or modify spaces to resolve unshaded areas, or when areas are too small to place a space, merge the volume for cavities, shafts, and chases with a tangent space.

   Note: Sliver spaces and the zones associated with sliver spaces display (as shaded) in the analytical model. Sliver spaces do not display in plan or section views.
