1. Aim:- To explain about HVAC systems and the essentials in the modeling of buildings.
Introduction:- To explain about HVAC systems and the essentials in the modeling of buildings.
Procedure:-
- HVAC stands for Heating, Ventilation and Air conditioning.
- It is a technology of indoor environmental comfort. Its goal is to provide thermal comfort and acceptable indoor air quality.
- It is a Important part of residential structures such as single familt homes such as Apartments, Hotels and Senior citizen facility and medium to large industrial office buildings such as office and hospitals.
Essentials in building modelling:
- HVAC designs are used for controlling the overall climate of the building.
- It balances the temparature to make the inside cool or warmer during the cold conditions.
- The Boilers and coolers are opened during the colder days.
- It enhances the productivity in offices as they feel comfortable.
- HVAC improves the air quality in the building making it ppropriate for human breathing and comfortness.
- It reduces humidity so residence can feel together.
- HVAC also helps you to acheive more savings.
- It acheive the energy efficiency.

4. Aim: To create the need to assess the building/analyze while modeling elements.
Introduction: To create the need to assess the building/analyze while modeling elements.
Procedure:
- Structural elements is essential in modeling elements as it helps in determining the loads and internal forces on a structural building or in any object.
- It is particularly imported for structural engineers to ensure that understands the load bars and impact the loads and to cross check the internal loads.
- Structural engineer can perform a during design, testing and for post construction process.
- It also ensures that a piece of equipment on a structure is safe for use under the estimated loads.
- Generally it can use in the geometry of the strucures in the applied loads.
- Structural analyse is usually looks at an individual structural elements and forces they undergo.
- Then structural engineer looks at an structural analysis for all the structural components like the slabs, cables and walls.
- All of these elements have forces and applied wind load, live load and dead load for all the loads which we based in the building.
- And yes, it effects the structural modeling in anyways.
- So it is important for the engineer to review each of these elements under these loads.
5. Aim: To model a structural drawing developed in week 6 and 7 in the analytical model to Robot Structural Analysis method.

- Then select the loas form the dialogue box.
-
- After selecting the loads click apply and close option.
- Now we can see the loads applied on the structure.
- Then we can see the maximum bending moment loads applied on the structure.
- In the same way select the forces from the dialogue box to get the force loads.
- Now we can see the force loads acting on the structure.
- In the same way, select the loads whatever necessary from the dialogue box.

6. Aim: To analyse the energy and to consider it while modeling in revit.
Introduction: To analyse the energy and to consider it while modeling in revit.
Procedure:
General Principles:
- Calculation of heat loss and gain to the buildings and heating and cooling loads imposed upon the building systems.
- Then calculation of energy addition and extraction to meet the posibility varying the temparature and numeric criteria.
- Then determination of fuel requirement of primay equipment in the attempt to supply the energy of HVAC system.
- It evaluates the most of the equipment fuel requirement, electricity, labour and retrofic components against the alternative of investing money.
- Energy simulations can help in analysing the moment of energy in and out and through out the volumes in the building models.
- This information can help designers to make better inform cost effective decisions that include the performance that reduces the environmental impacts of the building.
Factors of sustainability to improve the quality of your design:-
- The sustainable design is intended to completely eliminate the negative environmental impacts through out the design process.
- This process can applied across all the fields of design such as design of the buildings.
- A sustainable design will improve the quality of design to lower the energy and water consumption through the entire life cycle.
- Then it minimize the impact on climate change by reducing the green house gas emission through the carbon utilising uilities.
- In resource through consumption limit free
- Then it looks for incoporate of the biometric priciples wherever possible.
- Then it gives preference to non toxic materials.
- Finally it improves the quality and suitability of the price.
