Requirements for using Passivent Roof Ventilation Terminals in the Virtual Environment
The Virtual Environment (VE) software includes built-in support for simulating Passivent Roof Terminal units in the form of components and a Navigator.
The VE supports Airscoop® Roof Terminal units (with or without low-level inlets) and Passivent’s Airstract®, Passivent Airstract® iAT, Passivent Hybrid Plus Airstract®, Passivent Litevent Airstract® units (all with low-level inlets).
In order to simulate you will need valid licenses for the following VE modules:
· ModeliT.
· Apache.
· MacroFlo.
· SunCast.
· Radiance (for Litevent only).
· ApacheSim.
Passivent Airstract® iAT and Passivent Hybrid Plus Airstract® product involve the use of ApHVAC networks, however a licence is not required for simulation.
If you are missing one or more of these licenses, you will not be able to use the Passivent Roof Terminals functionality within the VE. Please contact keys@iesve.com for queries or support with licensing issues.
To formally assess overheating you also need an appropriate weather file, however no check is made to enforce the correct choice of weather file for the overheating analysis
