Obtain automatic calculation of the HVAC system
usMEP.HVAC allows calculation of hydronic systems for heating and cooling (summer calculation coming soon) and air handling systems for ventilation, air conditioning, and thermal ventilation, operating both in winter and summer.
With usMEP.HVAC you can perform
- sizing of system components (pipes, ducts, special parts, terminals, control valves, and dampers);;
- circuit balancing;
- verification of the HVAC BIM model designed with Edificius, without modifying the size of MEP objects;
- recalculation of flows actually carried by the pipes;
- customization of every system element and adding additional information;
- verification of supply by comparing the system characteristic curve with that of the pump or fan.
usMEP.HVAC allows sizing or verifying one or more calculation circuits within the same project.
The software performs a pre-sizing of the circuit and a balancing with automatic regulation of valves, dampers, and terminals.
Pre-sizing calculates the diameters of pipes or ducts based on the fluid flow each must support and maximum values set for velocity and pressure drop.
This procedure calculates all data (spacing of radiant panels, temperatures, flows, velocities, pressure losses, head and static pressure) and minimizes imbalance between circuit branches by reducing pipe and duct diameters or using control devices (valves, dampers, terminals).
