Create a HVAC Side Branch

To create a new HVAC Side Branch make sure Create is selected in the dropdown 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, you can select a different Specification for HVAC Side Branches. The default specification will initially be selected but you can select an alternative Specification from the dropdown list.

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 dropdown 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 selecting OK, you will be prompted in the status bar displayed at the lower left of the main HVAC Designer Application window to identify the HVAC component of the selected type from the 3D View of the HVAC model.

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. You will be returned to the HVAC Window.
