Details on Room Level
Information on the General tab at room level.
You are here:
Number
Is used to identify the structural level and simultaneously for sorting in the tree structure. The number may only appear once on the respective structural level.
Abbreviation
- one to three digit numbers
- Numbers and abbreviations of superordinate levels
) available for selection.Name
Free text to be entered for this structural level.
Type
Drop-down list to select the room type. Based on the room type, standardized room temperatures and minimum air changes are purposed for the heat load calculation. In the domestic ventilation module, the room type controls whether a room is classified as a supply air room, exhaust air room or overflow air room.
Room temperatures
You can enter the desired room temperatures for the heating and cooling case. If in the Heat load module on the project level the Inside temperatures according to standard option is activated, the standard inside temperature is used for the heating case and not the one entered here, depending on the selected room type. The temperature for the cooling case is used to calculate the cooling load.
Clear internal dimensions
The clear internal dimensions of the corresponding room. These dimensions are used to calculate the room volume to determine the heat loss of ventilation in the heat and cooling load].
Length, Width Enter the clear internal dimensions of the room in meters. Click 
to open the Room Dimensioning dialog where you can specify wall thicknesses.
Area: The clear building area is automatically calculated from length and width. The value can be overwritten and is then shown in bold. Click 
enters the calculated value again.
Celling thickness, clear height: These values are taken from the general specifications of the storey level. You can overwrite the Ceiling thickness with your own value, e.g. to realize a suspended ceiling. As soon as you modify the ceiling thickness in the general specifications at storey level, the user-defined value is also overwritten with the one from the storey level. The building detection treats a possibly existing floor construction as belonging to the ceiling and adds it accordingly: With 300 mm ceiling thickness and 100 mm floor construction, the detection enters 400 mm ceiling thickness. Suspended ceilings are not taken into account in the clear height, since air volumes behind them are relevant in the calculations.
Volume: The volume is determined automatically from the values entered. The value can be overwritten and is then shown in bold. Click enters the calculated value again.
Exterior dimensions
Length, Width If the clear internal dimensions have been entered via the Room measurementdialog, the external dimensions are automatically applied. Values can be entered manually. Click to open the Room Dimensioning dialog where you can specify wall thicknesses.
Area: The outer area of the room is automatically calculated from the entered values. The value can be overwritten and is then shown in bold. Click enters the calculated value again.
Storey height: This value is either transferred from the entry or taken from the entry at storey level. The value can be overwritten deviating from the storey.
Volume: This value is either transferred from the detection or determined from the calculated area and the storey height. The value can be overwritten and is then shown in bold. Click enters the calculated value again.
Parapet height
If this room should have a different window parapet height than specified on the storey level, a deviating height can be entered here.
Approximate capacity per qm
Clicking opens the Approximate heat load, in which you can select a specific approximate capacity depending on the building type. You can also enter a customized value.
