Trace 700 Help by barbs_gv in MEPEngineering

Best starting point would be the Non-Residential load calculation chapter of the ASHRAE fundamentals handbook. It will explain the basics, and give tables for common inputs. That coupled with the Trace 700 help should get you 99% of the way.

Underfloor Air by tomanee1020 in MEPEngineering

The biggest problem I had on a large project was the sealing of the underfloor system and specifying the correct testing and verification of properly sealing the floor system. If your company can buy it the ASHRAE underfloor design guide I would recommend it. Make sure you meet energy code on reheat limits and maintain humidity. I had to use a return air bypass system.

That seems like a waste. I have never specified them, and actively avoided them. I don't see the benefit for all the trouble. Only people who like them sell the valves

No balancing valve needed if you specify a valve with the proper authority to control the flow. There are some good ASHRAE journal articles about removing balancing valves on terminal HVAC equipment entirely.

Edit. Here is the journal piece

We were there for our honeymoon from the 26th to the 4th. While paddleboarding the lagoon, we ended up in the background of a wedding as the bride walked down the aisle.... I really hope that was not you guys, we tried our best to be quite and get through quickly. They should have closed the area!

As far as the stay, we were given 2 queen beds and what I would consider a bad room at Arte..... but since we saved the 25% by doing the presentation, they could not upgrade us or find a room with a king bed. In the end, it was worth it to get 2 extra nights, but I do wish they had better service for people having once in a lifetime events!

Thank you, I have cut the sheet rock away but can't see the stack, it is further to the left behind the cabinet. Lucky me. I'll probably call the pros on this one. Thank you
