HVAC Equipment Exchange Results for Building Designer

Building model updated for component information providing information to the Building Designer. Shape and location of components may have been provided previously or may be specified through this exchange requirement.

Project Stages

The requirement for information about HVAC Equipment needed by the Building Designer will change little during the project, as the Building Designer is not concerned with the technical details of the equipment. These are the details which are most likely to change as the project develops, consequently, the scope of the information requirements are the same for each stage of the project.

Type	Information Provided	Actor Receiving	Man	Opt	Functional Part
Model	An HVAC Equipment item shall be assigned a locally unique identifier. it is identified as recommended throughout all project stages within this exchange requirement.	Building Design			HVAC Equipment Identifier (FP)
Model	An HVAC Equipment shall be assigned to a type classification. This identifies what type of equipment the exchange refers to - for example Air Handling Unit, External Louvre, Fan, Duct System, Silencer etc...	Building Design			HVAC Equipment Classification (FP)
Model	HVAC Equipment physical shape and size. The model should include details of the actual or proposed physical dimensions of the equipment, dependent on the stage of the project. During the early stages of the design this information may only be used for establishing the requirements of the service spaces and maintenance access for the project.	Building Design			HVAC Equipment Dimensions (FP)
Model	HVAC Equipment location. The model should include details of the actual or proposed physical location of the equipment, dependent on the stage of the project.	Building Design			HVAC Equipment Location (FP)
Model	HVAC Equipment maintenance access provision - for example withdrawal space for fan assembly or filters. The model should include details of the actual or proposed physical dimensions of the equipment, dependent on the stage of the project. During the early stages of the design this information may only be used for establishing the requirements of the service spaces and maintenance access for the project.	Building Design			HVAC Equipment Maintenance Access (FP)
Model	HVAC Equipment colour and finish. The colour and finish of equipment which has a visual impact on the project can be defined in the Design Brief, where such detail is available at this stage. However, in order to allow the building designer to review the colour and finish of the HVAC Equipment items, this optional exchange can be used.	Building Design			HVAC Equipment Colour (FP)
