Design of Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration systems using the modern BIM models
What are the main steps in the design of Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Systems:
- Site evaluation and client needs analysis
- Assess the potential for the deployment of renewable energy in building installations
- Initial selection of the type of installations meeting the modern requirements for construction of low-energy buildings with close to zero energy consumption
- Preparation of a conceptual solution with an economic assessment of the investment, which establishes its relevance
- Preparation of a conceptual project for coordinating the main systems and their characteristics with other specialties:
- Architecture
- Constructions
- Electro
- Plumbing
- Preparation of EE – Energy Efficiency Project, which specifies the properties and thermodynamic characteristics of the enclosing elements: Walls, Windows, Doors, Floor, Roof, Bay Windows
- Preparation of a technical design for HVAC specialty including:
- Explanatory note
- Calculations
- Selections
- Schemes
- Bill of Quantities with specific requirements for the equipment and materials
- Assessment of the expected annual energy consumption and criteria
