Airflows
Airflows library members are created to define the Cooling and Heating Flow Rates, Ventilation, Infiltration and Room Exhaust to be applied to the space. Standard library members cannot be edited.
The airflows library member details screen displays the fields that must be defined when creating custom library members and are pre-determined for standard library members:
● Name: Name of the airflows template for the library member
● Source: Where the library member came from (ex. Trane)
● Description: Brief description of the library member (ex. Standard library by Trane)
The following fields must be completed to complete the creation of a new airflows library member:
