HVAC Manager – Simplified System Selection:  

• The addition of the simplified system selection allows uses to take a tabular approach to choosing and defining system components and parameters in a straightforward and logical way. User can utilize pre-defined systems, create new systems or edit existing ones. This creates the necessary linkages between system components automatically so the user does not need to get into the complexities of the detailed system approach.  

Simplified DSM (Dynamic Simulation Model):  

• Generates full simulation model based on HVAC Manager definitions, dynamic simulation allows users to create and use detailed geometry from 3D models, utilize real site weather data and simulate at hourly (or sub-hourly) intervals throughout a year to mimic the behavior of the structure during normal operations and external environmental condition changes.  
  
  
  

Roof Modeler Upgrades:  

• Multiple issues addressed to ensure proper roof set-up and increase stability of the process. The roof modeler now supports ceiling representations within spaces to account for plenums and ceiling voids.
