Part L Compliance Report Not Generating

CCDP — Mon, 19 Dec 2016 16:47:06 GMT

Hello,

I have a project where the Part L Compliance Report is not generating and I cannot figure out why.

I've tried the suggestions on other forum threads but I haven't had any joy.

The Energy Report generates each time but the Compliance Report option is grayed out:

Could you have a look at my data file and shed any light on my issue?

Many thanks,

Scotland PartL Calculation Room Ventilation

CCDP — Thu, 27 Oct 2016 14:07:04 GMT

Hello,

I have a building which has a zone with local split AC unit providing the main heating and cooling with a centralised ducted air handling unit which provides tempered fresh air. The air handling unit has heat recovery and the capacity to heat or cool the air to the room set point.

The building regulations state that a central balanced mechanical ventilation system with heating and cooling should achieve a SFP of 1.6W/l/s

But when I try to input the ventilation system into the room ventilation the SBEM calculation assumes that the supply SPF is a zonal supply and extract system and assumes that the exhaust system is a zonal extract system rather than a central balanced mechanical ventilation system.

How should I input a central balanced mechanical ventilation system with heat recovery and heating and cooling (to temper the fresh air) into the SBEM calcualtion when it is not the primary source of heating and cooling for the zone?

Do i ignore the room exhaust and input the combined supply and extract SPF into the supply SPF or should I ignor the complaince report where is flags up the exhaust SFP as too high?

Many thanks,

Ross

Floor Locations

Good Afternoon All,

Using Hevacomp design database (and CAD input) I have built a large 4 storey 'complex' building from the 1700's containing around 200 rooms, to get some idea of heat losses throughout the building. However, now the model has been produced, I can clearly see that the imported dxfs may not have shared the same 'origin' point in CAD and therefore, once I have 'traced' over them, the building almost looks like a bad game of Jenga. Is there a way manually adjust the co-ordinates of a whole floor to bring them more in-line with one another?

Cheers,

Dean
