Create a HVAC Side Branch

To create a new HVAC Side Branch make sure Create is selected in the drop-down list in the top left of the HVAC Side Branch window.

In the Branch Name box, input the name of the HVAC Side Branch element.

Although a specification was selected earlier, select a different Specification for HVAC Side Branches. The default specification will initially be selected but an alternative Specification from the drop-down list can be selected.

Select an insulation thickness from the Insulation Thickness list. The available options will change depending on the Insulation Spec selected. If no insulation is required, select 0.

By default only one Insulation Specification is available. If a new insulation specification is required, refer to the system administrator.

In the Connect Head to drop-down list, choose from a list of available HVAC components which one to connect to the Branch Head. Depending on the selection made, at least one element of that type must exist in the HVAC model. After making a selection and clicking OK, in the status bar displayed at the lower left of the main HVAC Designer Application window the prompt to identify the HVAC component of the selected type from the 3D View of the HVAC model is displayed.

After clicking on the selected HVAC Component the HVAC Side Branch will be created in the Design database hierarchy and the HVAC Side Branch window will close and the HVAC Window is displayed.c
