Elite Software Rhvac v8.01.221

Rhvac quickly and accurately calculates peak heating and cooling loads for residential and small commercial buildings in accordance with the eighth edition of the ACCA Manual J. The Heat Transfer Multipliers (HTM values) for all the walls, windows, doors, and roofs listed in Manual J are stored and automatically looked up by the program as needed. Although HTM values are taken from Manual J directly, the user does have the option of entering his own U-Value for each wall, roof, or glass section so that a modified HTM value is used. Design weather data for over 1500 cities is built-in to the program. In addition, the user can revise the existing weather data and add additional weather data as desired. Zoning cfm adjustments are automatically handled by the program as needed. Other outstanding features include exterior glass shading, ventilation air, miscellaneous latent loads, default room data, automatic rotation of the entire building, hydronic heat calculations and much more.


Besides calculating peak heating and cooling loads, rhvac can also calculate the length of tubing needed for hydronic radiant floors. It also calculates your duct sizes in accordance with Manual D, as well as the static pressure loss of your duct system, showing you the static pressure requirement of your system fan. Duct sizing options include all types of duct materials, height and width restrictions, velocity limits, and more. Additionally, rhvac creates sales proposals and selects hvac equipment. For equipment selection, rhvac is provided with a database derived from ARI and GAMA of thousands of equipment models from over 80 hvac manufacturers. Standard air conditioners, heat pumps, furnaces, boilers, and ground source heat pumps are among the types of equipment rhvac can select. The sales proposal feature of rhvac prints key features of the proposed equipment and work to be performed. Also included are standard terms and conditions of the proposal. rhvac shares data with elite Software\'s Energy Audit operating cost analysis program, Ductsize, Quick Quote, and Drawing Board program. rhvac can be used stand alone or in conjunction with any of these programs.
