DesignBuilder Detailed HVAC Query

#1

@Francois_Retief
Hi Francois,
I have a query regarding modelling perimeter and internal spaces in DesignBuilder. The building has FCUs and DOAS serving the perimeter and VAV with AHUs serving the internal spaces. What would be the simplest way to model this?
I have seen this modelled as a single zone previously, however, I can’t seem to find a way to include both, the DOAS and the AHUs which both serve the zone.
How would you go about this?

Thank you Francois.

Hi @AishaShaikh

Unfortunately I haven’t used the detailed HVAC module in quite some time now, so can’t recall the exact approach. Perhaps @Thomas from Ecolution could assist, as he used to offer the detailed HVAC training some time back? Also, you could chat to the Greenplan guys (Sewis van Zyl) www.greenplan.co.za.

Hope this helps,
