About the Details Tab

In the Heating and Cooling Loads dialog, the Details tab displays all zones and spaces in the project and displays the corresponding space and zone information.

The Details tab contains the following options:

• Spaces/Analytical Surfaces: Allows viewing the analytical model to verify the volumes in the building model or to verify that surfaces are correctly identified.
• List of Zones and Spaces: Hierarchical list of spaces and zones in the building model. This list allows you to identify the relationships of the zones and the spaces that they control. You can select one or more spaces or zones to view the selection in the preview pane or to display information about the selected spaces or zones.
• Highlight: Displays the selected zones or spaces in the analytical model.
• Isolate: Displays only the selected spaces in the analytical model.
• (Show Related Warnings): Displays warning messages associated with the selected space in the analytical model.

Space information

After selecting one or more spaces from the list, the following space information displays. This space information affects the heating and cooling loads analysis. You can modify this information before a loads analysis or after it to make the analysis comply with your specifications.

• Space Type: Specifies the space type for the selected spaces.
• Construction Type: Specifies the construction type for the selected spaces.
