Using spaces for load analysis workflow for designing and optimizing an HVAC system.
| Step | View more information |
|---|---|
| Configure space styles. | Create a space style, specify lighting and equipment load per area, and specify a classification using specifying space styles. |
| Create zone styles to specify the display and design rules for zones. | Specify the display and design rules for zones using configuring zone styles. |
| Adding spaces to a floor plan. | Add spaces to a drawing using objects in a referenced floor plan drawing (xref) as the bounding objects using adding spaces to a floor plan. |
| Assign property set data to spaces and edit engineering data. | Edit the engineering data to model the appropriate environmental conditions by adding engineering data to spaces. |
| Attach property sets to zones. | Create zones and assign property sets before exporting space data by attaching property sets to zones. |
| Associate spaces with zones. | Assign spaces to zones and attach zones to other zones by attaching spaces to zones. |
| Exporting zones for load analysis. | Export the engineering and building information in gbXML format by exporting zones for load analysis. |
| Review spaces and zones. | Use the Space/Zone Manager to review the zone hierarchy and review space information by reviewing spaces and zones. |
| Import load analysis results. | Import the completed load analysis data into your drawing using importing load analysis results. |
| Use space and zone calculated data. | Display load calculation results in tags and schedules to improve the design of the HVAC system using space and zone calculated data. |
