Select Parts for the HVAC Systems

Use the Heating and Cooling Loads report to guide you in selecting the parts for the systems in the project.

• Create a space schedule.

  Create a space schedule showing the calculated heating and cooling loads for spaces. You can use formulas to create conditional parameters to compare required and actual airflows for the spaces in the project. Use the space schedule to select equipment and air terminals for the spaces in the project.

• Specify HVAC system settings. (if necessary)

  The project template typically establishes default elevations and duct types. However, it may be necessary to specify duct types and default elevations for the ductwork for the various HVAC systems.

• Specify ducts and fittings.

  Specify ducts and fittings (if necessary).

• Select equipment for the systems.

  Load the air handling equipment and air terminals for the project based on heating and cooling loads analysis.

As you design the air system, refer to the space schedule to check the actual airflow against planned airflow for each space in the project.
