Abstract:
A method for designing an HVAC system. The method may comprising operating a computer program to create a virtual floor plan, detecting automatically, by the computer program, an enclosed space within the virtual floor plan, and calculating automatically, by the computer program after the detecting, a load corresponding to the enclosed space. The method may further include providing, by the computer program, a palette of HVAC components, instructing the computer program to assign at least one HVAC component from the palette to the enclosed space, and assigning automatically, by the computer program, a capacity to the at least one HVAC component, the capacity corresponding to the load calculated for the enclosed space.
