This command imports an ASHRAE 90.1 baseline data set which can then be used as a starting point for any PRM project. When the command is activated the software automatically imports a range of default ASHRAE data in a fully functional VE format. This includes:
· ASHRAE 90.1 Thermal Templates (by Building or Space type)
· ASHRAE 90.1 Internal Gains
· ASHRAE Outdoor Fresh Air Rates
· ASHRAE 90.1 Profiles/Schedules
· ASHRAE 90.1 Envelope/Fabric Data (ASHRAE Climate Zone specific)
· ASHRAE 90.1 Baseline Systems (1 to 8 +)
All of the above data is based on the ASHRAE 90.1 2007 User Guide wherever possible.
After the Navigator command has been activated the user must then select the “90_1_2007_IP_Edit” folder and subsequently select the associated VE .mit file.
