Version 2 - How to use CAD Heat Engineer Software 15th Feb 4pm

Description

For current users and the curious.

This is designed to be an introduction into how to start a room by room survey using the new CAD Heat Engineer feature, using the online dashboard. We will then go through the different steps to complete this heat loss report. Optional pages will also be worked through and shown. 

Examples of how to select the flow temperature and the heat source (heat pumps and boilers) will be presented once the heat loss result is completed. 

Scope of works

Questions - You will be able to ask further questions after the event.

Heat Loss from CAD

Upload your drawings and quickly measuring areas and lengths. Measurements automatically populate the survey and produces the heat loss results for each room.

3D ROOM SCAN

Using an Apple mobile device (Pro models), you can scan a room which creates the room in 3D and populates dimensions in the survey too. From your computer dashboard, view 3D models and include images in the heating report.

NEW RADIATORS

We use EN442 standard to enable you to customise the defined MWT (°c) and the results will highlight if the radiator will heat the room for a given internal design temperature. We like to promote the need to design low temperature systems!

Add multiple designers to your account

You can now add extra dashboard users to complete heat loss and heating design reports on your Heat Engineer Software account.

DHW (DOMESTIC HOT WATER)

This will calculate the projected energy demand and running costs for DHW. Soon to be released is cylinder sizing for both domestic and commercial.

EMITTERS AND PERFORMANCE

This page is primarily used for heat pump designs. Once you specify the flow temperature for each room the SCOP (Seasonal Coefficient of Performance) values will be shown, and the system will show if radiators are over or undersized.

BIVALENT DESIGN

A bivalent system uses more than one heat source. So, we provide an easy-to-use method for you to determine when you need a fossil fuel boiler to operate when a heat pump is at its output limit. This is great for properties which need a 3 phase system for a large heat pump, however only have single phase, therefore a boiler can provide the remaining heating at a bivalent point which you can design.

FUEL COMPARISON

Multiple fuels to compare against, you can adjust the price per unit and CO2 factor (kg/kWh). Present these running costs to your clients.

PHOTOS AND NOTES

Photos and notes which you or your surveyors have taken will be shown when you open the report from your dashboard. You may also upload and download photos from your PC / laptop too.

COMPARE COMPLETED REPORTS

This comparison feature allows you to compare different reports on power and energy demand. You can therefore review a project's outcome when you make variations in the building materials and dimensions. If you compare two different buildings / projects then this will only show rooms which have the same name.
