Review the heating and cooling analysis report

00:01

MIKE BRONSON: In this video, we are

00:03

going to review the results of the report

00:05

from the MEP model analysis.

00:07

After the calculations are complete,

00:09

the report will help you analyze the model

00:11

by separating it into project, building, zone, and space

00:15

summaries.

00:17

Once the calculator is complete, Revit will display the results

00:19

on the screen.

00:23

You'll notice at the top, there's a project summary, then

00:26

a building summary.

00:30

Below that is the zone summary.

00:32

In this case, we haven't set zones up yet.

00:36

To review the results more easily, creating zones

00:39

will help to isolate these spaces into groups.

00:44

Here is a list of the default spaces and their values.

00:48

Selecting each one of these will take you to the actual space

00:51

itself.

00:54

This is the information particular to

00:55

the mechanical space you chose.

00:59

You can always go back to the summary of this basis

01:02

to start over in your list of choices.

01:06

You'll notice on the project browser,

01:07

Revit created a loads report under the reports category.

01:12

This is a view, just like any other view in Revit,

01:15

and can be dragged to a sheet for printing later.

01:19

Save the project to continue.

Review the heating and cooling analysis report – Exercise

  1. Open the practice file, Small Medical Center - Analysis Running03.rvt.
  2. Review the report.
  3. The results show a Project Summary reflecting its location and weather, calculation time and report type.
  4. It also shows a Building Summary with examples like the Peak Cooling and Heating Total Loads.

    The analysis report

  5. Zones will also get their own summary to help separate the space associated with that zone for easier viewing.
  6. Scroll down to one of the spaces and select it.
  7. Revit will immediately take you to that space displaying all the relative information from the area to the cooling airflow cfm to heating airflow cfm.
