The Settings tab of the dialog box allows you to choose which results are
to be displayed in the report. The report can be exported to PDF, XML,
DOE-2 (
.inp
) or an EnergyPlus file (
.idf
). You can compare the results of
multiple analyses by selecting the reports in the tree at the left of the dialog
box and then clicking the Compare button. The reports will be shown side
by side for easy comparison of each result category.
Analyzing Duct and Pipe System Pressure
Along with heating and cooling analysis and energy analysis, Revit MEP has
the ability to generate pressure loss reports of correctly modeled duct and
piping systems. Note that you must first have your duct or pipe systems
routedandsizedbyusingtheductandpipingsizingtools.Theproceduresto
do so are outlined in Chapters 10 and 11, respectively. We cover generating a
duct pressure loss report in this chapter—the process is the same for piping
systems.
To generate the duct loss report, use the Duct Pressure Loss Report tool
found on the Reports & Schedules panel of the Analyze tab. You will see
the Duct Pressure Loss Report - System Selector dialog box, which enables
you to select the duct systems you want to include in the report from a
list of available systems that have been correctly defined. You may also
select the duct systems within the appropriate views and then click the
Duct Pressure Loss Report button, or you may select the systems within the
System Browser and then right-click and select Pressure Loss Report.
Note that pressure loss reports cannot be generated for fire protection or
gravity flow (that is, sanitary) systems.
Click OK to generate the report. The Duct Pressure Loss Report Settings
window appears and is where you will define the detail level of the report
generated, as shown in
Figure 8.28
.
The level of detail and the information
reported is up to you. You can save the settings for the report in your project
so that multiple types of reports can be generated.
