heat input

Question

Hi, 
 Is it necessary to feed cad data into software for load calculation. Can we calculate load just putting fabric data manually into surface tab? 
 How we add heat reclaim in our heat loads? 
 Please also help me to find cooling capability of ventilation system without any air conditioning in summer. 
 
 Thanks & Regards

Hello Faizan, there is no facility to directly add heat recovery into steady state heat gain calculations such as CIBSE Gain. However if you know how much air and at what temperature this system will produce then you could account for it by including fixed temperate air as a workaround, as below.

Faizan, 
 I would strongly recommend going through the Design Database section of the Mechanical Designer course - see here. This covers many of the topics you have raised from setting up your model to running load calculations.
