Structural analysis of a buidling using Robot Structural Analysis
ANSWER 1) WHAT ARE HVAC SYSTEMS? WHY ARE THEY ESSENTIAL IN THE MODELING OF BUILDINGS.
A) HVAC SYSTEMS:
- HVAC SYSTEM ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REGULATION OF HEAT ,AIRFLOW, VENTILATION, AND AIR CONDITIONING OF AN ENTIRE BUILDING. YOU WON'T SEE THE MACHINES WHEN YOU ENTER THE BUILDING BUT YOU WILL MOST CERTAINLY FEEL THE EFFECT OF A COMFORTABLE AND WELL - VENTILATED WORKPLACE.
- HERE ARE SOME OF THE TOP REASONS WHY BUSINESS OWNERS OPT TO HAVE RELIABLE HVAC SYSTEM IN PLACE FOR THEIR OFFICE BUILDINGS.
- HVAC SYS. CONTROL THE OVERALL CLIMATE IN THE BUILDING . THEY ALSO MAKE THE PROPER ADJUSTMENTS WHEN EVER WE EXPERINCE CHANGES IN OUTDOOR TEMP.
- DURING THE WINTER SEASON , THE HVAC SYS. ( MAINLY THE BOILER OR HEATER) WORK TO KEEP THE INDOOR TEM. AT A COMFORTABLE LEVEL.
- IN HOTTER TIME OF THE SEASON, THE HVAC SYS. REGULATE AIR TEMP. BY PROVIDING THE NECESSARY COOLING TO KEEP THE ENTIRE BUILDING COMFORTABLE .
- HAVING A COMFORTABLE OFFICE CLIMATE INCREASES THE LEVEL OF PRODUCTIVITY AND INCREASES MORALE AMONGST THE WORKERS AND EMPLOYEES.
- IF YOU LET YOUR PEOPLE WORK IN SETTINGS CONDUCTIVE FOR WORK, THEY WILL SURELY BE MOTIVATED TO PERFORM BETTER BECAUSE THEY FEEL GOOD IN THEIR WORK ENVIRONMENT.
- NO EMPLOYEE WILL ENJOY WORKING IN OFFICE WHERE YOU FREQUENTELY HAVE TO IGNORE YOUR PERSPIRATION JUST TO FOCUS ON YOUR COMPUTER SCREEN.
- HAVING A PROPEER HVAC SYS. INSTALLED IS GURANANTEED TO MAKE YOUR EMPLOYEE HAPPY, HENCE ,GIVING YOU BETTER WORK RESULTS IN RETURN.
- HVAC SYSTEM NOT ONLY REGULATE THE TEMPERATURE INSIDE THE BUILDING ,THEY ALSO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF AIR .
- THE QUALITY OF AIR PERTAINS TO HUMDITY, AND A TYPICAL HVAC SYS. WILL REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF HUMDITY IN THE AIR SO YOUR WORKERS AND EMPLOYEE CAN CONTINUE ENJOYING A COZY AND PLEASANT ATMOSPHERE AT WORK .
- PROPER HVAC SYS. ARE A WORTHY INVESTMENT FOR ANY BUSINESS OR BUILDING OWNER BECAUSE IT GIVES YOU ENERGY SAVINGS.
- HVAC SYSTEMS TODAY ARE AUTOMATED, WHICH MEANS YOU NO LONGER HAVE TO MANUALLY ADJUST THE TEMPERATURE SETTING OR THE TIME SETTING OF EACH MACHINE .

ANSWER 4.
WHY DO WE NEED TO ASSESS BUILDINGS/ANALYZE WHILE MODELING ELEMENTS? DOES DESIGN MODELING IN ANYWAYS ?
A)
STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS IS THE PROCESS OF CALCULATING THE FORCES, MOMENTS AND DEFLECTIONS TO WHICH THE MEMBERS IN A STRUCTURE ARE TO BE SUBJECT. THERE IS A VAST RANGE OF ANALYSIS TOOLS OFFERING SPEED , PRECISION AND ECONOMY OF DESIGN . 3D , FE MODELING , BESPOKE PORTAL FRAME , CELLULAR BEAM OR PLATE GRIDER DESIGN SOFTWARE ARE NOW WIDELY AVALIABLE . MODELING CATENARY ACTIONS COLD FORMED MEMBER PERFORMQNCE OR GRILLAGE ANALYSIS - ALL THESE ARE NOW COMMON PLACE FOR STRUCTURES, WHERE HAND ANALYSIS IS IMPOSSIBLE.
INCREASINGLY SOPHISTICATED ANALYSIS METHOD CONTINUE TO IMPROVE THE ACCURACY WITH WHICH THE BEHAVIOUR OF STRUCTURES CAN BE PREDICTED .
TO PERFORM AN ACCURATED ANALYSIS A STRUCTURAL ENGINEER MUST DETERMINE INFORMATION SUCH AS STRUCTURAL LOADS , GEOMETRY , SUPPORT CONDITION , AND MATERIAL PROPERTIES .THE RESULTS OD SUCH ANALYSIS TYPICALLY INCLUDE SUPPORT REACTION, STRESSES AND DISPLACEMENT . THIS INFORMATION IS THEN COMPARED TO CRITERIA THAT INDICATE THE CONDITION OF FAILURE.
ADVANCED STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS MAY EXAMINE DYNAMIC RESPONSE,STABILITY AND NON-LINEAR BEAHIOUR .
THERE ARE THREE APPROACHES TO THE ANALYSIS:
1. THE MECHANICS OF MATERIALS APPROACH( ALSO KNOW AS STRENGTH OF MATERIALS) .
2. THE ELASTICITY THEORY APPROACH( WHICH IS ACTUALLY A SPECIAL CASE OF THE MORE GENERAL FIELD OF CONTINUM MEACHNAISM)
3.FINITE ELEMENTS APPROACHES .
THE FIRST TWO MAKES USE OF ANALYTICAL FORMULATION WHICH APPLY MOSTLY SIMPLE LINEAR ELASTIC MODELS, LEADING TO CLOSE- FORM SOLUTIONS, AND CAN OFTEN BE SOLVED BY HAND. THE FINITE ELEMENTS APPROCHES IS ACTUALLY A NUMERICALS METHODS FOR SOLVING DIFFERENTIAL EQUATION GENERATED BY THEORIES OF MECHANICS SUCHA AS ELASTIC THEORY AND STRENGTH OF MATERIALS . HOWEVER , THE FINITE -ELEMENTS METHOD DEPENDS HEAVILY ON THE PROCESSING POWER OF COMPUTERS ANS IS MORE APPLICABLES TO STRUCTURES OF ARBITRARY SIZE AND COMPLEXITY .
ANSWER 5.

QUESTION 6: WHAT IS ENERGY ANALYSIS AND WHY DO WE NEED TO CONSIDER IT WHILE MODELING IN REVIT ?
HOW DOES THE FACTOR OF SUSTAINABILITY IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF YOUR DESIGN ?
ANSWER :
A) PERFORM ENERGY ANALYSIS ON THE BUILDING DESIGN THROUGH ALL STAGES, FROM THE EARLIEST CONCEPTUAL PHASE THROUGH DETAILED DESIGN , TO ENSURE THAT YOU ARE CONSTANTLY WORKING TOWARDS THE MOST ENERGY EFFICIENT BUILDING POSSIBLE . ENERGY SIMULATION CAN HELP YOU ANALYSE THE MOVEMENT OF ENERGY IN , OUT AND THROUGH THE ROOMS AND VOLUME IN A BUILDING MODEL . THIS INFORMATION CAN HELP DESIGNERS MAKE BETTER INFORMED COST- EFFECTIVE DECISION THAT IMPROVE THE PERFORMANCE AND REDUCE THE ENVIRONMENT IMPACT OF BUILDING . WHOLE BUILDING ENERGY SIMMULATION MEASURES EXPECTED ENERGY USE ( FUEL AND ELECTRICITY) BASED ON THE BUILDING'S GEOMETRY , CLIMATE , BUILDING TYPE , ENVELOPE PROPERTIES , AND ACTIVE SYSTEMS ( HVAC AND LIGHTING). IT TAKES INTO ACCOUNT THE INTERDEPENCIES OF THE BUILDING AS AWHOLE SYSTEM. USE ENERGY ANALYSIS TO PERFORM ENERGY SIMULATION FOR CONCEPTUAL FORMS AND DETAILED ARCHITECTURAL MODELS CREATED IN REVIT. USE THE SIMULATION RESULT TO UNDERSTAND BUILDING ENERGY USE . THEN ITERATE THE DESIGN TO IMPROVE THEIR SUSTAINABILITY RATINGS . THE ENERGY MODEL CREATED FROM THE REVITT BUILDING MODEL CAN BE DISPLAYED IN REVIT , SO YOU CAN VIEW AND VALIDATE THE ENERGY MODEL USED FOR ANALYSIS. THE ENERGY MODEL CAN ALSO BE EXPECTED TO THIRD- PARTY APPLICATION FOR FURTHER ANALYSIS IN A VARIETY OF COMMON FORMATS: gbXML, DOE2 AND ENERGY PLUS .
SUSTAINABLE DESIGN DEALS WITH THE PHILOSOPHY OF HAVING BUILT AND DESIGNED OBJECT , BUILDINGS, ENVIRONMENTS AND SERVICES THAT CONFORMS WITH THE MANY PRINCIPLE OF ECOLOGICAL SUSTAINABILTI . THIS. THIS INCLUDE MAINTAINING CHANGE IN A HOMEOSTATIC ENVIRONNMENT WHERE THE USE OF RESOURCES , INCLINATION OF INVESTMENT , AND THE DIRECTION OF DEVELOPMENT ARE BALANCED AND MEET THE CURRENT AND FUTURE NEEDS OF HUMANITY. SIMPLY PUT, SUSTAINABLE DESIGN REPRESENT DEVELOPMENT THAT NOT ONLY MEETS THE NEEDS OF THE PRESENT BUT DOES SO WITHOUT COMPROMISING THE ABILITY OF FUTURE GENERATIONS TO MEET THEIR OWN NEEDS.
WAYS TO APPROACH SUSTAINABLE DESIGN INCLUDE UTILIZING SUSTAINABLE CHEMICAL ENGINEERING , RESPONSIBLE RESOURCE MANAGEMENT , AND HOLISTIC ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION.
