  • First floor ceiling and roof

    My model consists of two floors, 2.7m high for first floor and 2.7m for second floor. I added a pitch roof which messed the whole model up, so i deleted the roof data from the DDBROOF.NDX folder along with the ROOFPOLY.* and RLIGHTPOLY.* files. The model…
  • CIBSE Gain Queries

    I have turned off infiltration, ventilation, occupants and casual gains from my model to test the solar load portion only. However I still see loads attributed with "Convective" and "Latent" (albeit small). Should these loads exist in my calculation…
  • Hevacomp V8i

    Suddenly get this message after using full CAD Input on this project for a few days. The Hevacom Project Explorer confirms my project details comprising existing data of 37 rooms but can not open the project. I can see the data on the network server directory…
  • HELP WITH LOAD CALCULATIONS DATA AND TRANSFERRING IT INTO TOTAL BUILDING DESIGN

    I have constructed my hevacomp model in the design database using the load calculation tab along with sizing all my mechanical pipe and duct systems using the pipe and duct sizer netsys tab. I am wondering if it is possible to transfer all this data…
  • How do i get my outline to align with the building I've modelled?

    I received a new building outline for a building I've already modelled. I replaced the outline on a constant known point so i could make changes, saved and opened the model in hevacomp. The outline is no longer inline with model for some unknown reason…
  • Adding NCM Construction Databases (standard library / inference) to Hevacomp Materials & Glazing Database

    I have been using other building modelling software that make use of the standard NCM Construction Databases for library / inference. Are there any plans for the NCM Construction Databases to be added to the Hevacomp Materials & Glazing Database?
  • 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…
  • Why is the Hevacomp BRUKL Document not showing Solar Thermal Systems?

    Hi, Please would someone be able to help me. I have been trying to complete an SBEM for a client and this one part of the BRUKL document won't show up when I run the compliance section of the Part L in Hevacomp. On the roof of the building in question…
  • RE: Modelling variable wall construction in single element

    Hi Roy, it may depend on the type of calculation you are doing as to the best solution. The simplest option is to create an Exposed Wall in Fabric Data using the layer data for the above ground wall. Once created you can adjust the calculated U-Value…
  • RE: Walls, partitions and sections

    Chris, to extend on Duncan's answer you should consider the following. Steady State calcs such as CIBSE will consider the temp on the other side of a partition. When using CAD Input this will default to the design condition specified for the adjacent…
  • Effective way to calculate Heating ad Cooling loads

    Hi, I am using Hevacomp Design Database to calculate Heating and Cooling Loads for a simple 5 Floor building using Heat loss and CIBSE gain however I want to know if there are any other options for more exact gains, a way I found this can be achieved…
