Duct system workflow for designing and optimizing an HVAC system.
| Step | View more information |
|---|---|
| Create preliminary 1-line designs | Prepare a conceptual design for evaluation by building engineers and code officers using schematic diagrams. |
| Lay Out a System | Place diffusers, VAV boxes, coils, dampers, and other equipment by adding HVAC parts. |
| Draw Duct | Connect the equipment using duct runs by adding duct. |
| Size Duct | Verify flow values and calculate duct to properly size components by calculating duct sizes for a duct system. |
| Make changes to a duct system | Modify system layouts based on design changes, and recalculate sizes as necessary by modifying a duct system. |
| Label system components and generate schedules | As you design, annotate systems for preliminary design specifications and subsequent construction documents by adding a label or flow arrow to duct. |
| Refine a duct system | You can modify and move duct and equipment using grips to accommodate design changes without breaking connections by using grips for modifying a duct run. |
