Load Calculations
Design Master
can calculate the HVAC load on your project from within AutoCADĀ©. Calculations
are done according to the ASHRAE Handbook: Fundamentals 1993 CLTD method.
Three main types of data need to be input:
The HVAC load can either be output to the screen or to a printer. Loads
can be calculated based upon individual rooms, groups of rooms, or rooms
served by a selected duct.
Once you have calculated your loads, Design Master will recommend an
airflow for each room. You can then use this recommendation to update
the CFM total in the room. At this point, Design Master can take over
again and size your ductwork, redraw
it based upon the new sizes, and calculate the
pressures in the ductwork.
