Ventilation approach (CMM)

This Navigator action opens the Apache Systems dialog. Any number of Apache Systems may be defined using the Add / Remove buttons at the top of the dialog.

An Apache System is named using the Name edit field. To assign the new name, re-select the system you are naming, and the new name is automatically applied.

The name of an Apache System should be of the following form:

<prefix>=<description>, where

<prefix> is a short combination of letters or numbers which should also be added to the start of the description of the matching (paired) HVAC network. (See section 7.2, naming HVAC systems)
= is an equals sign
<description> is a description of the Heating/Cooling system

For each Apache System, the cooling/ventilation strategy must be configured in the “Cooling” tab. This setting determines whether a room is considered conditioned, mechanically ventilated, or naturally ventilated, and thus evaluated in the relevant credit analysis.
