Exchange HVAC Model - Space - Exchange Requirements

Exchange of information about technical spaces for HVAC plant and equipment and how other spaces are grouped for system development and fire compartmentation. Used to coordinate with general zoning and spacing requirements with other roles.

Please ensure that you have read the process mapping document 'pm_HVAC_engineering' before proceeding with this exchange requirement.

The scope of this exchange requirement is the exchange of information to enable provision of technical spaces, spaces zoned for HVAC systems provision and fire compartments with particular HVAC systems requirements. The purpose of the exchange requirement is to enable coordination of HVAC systems requirements with other technical systems requirements (notably electrical and piping systems) and with building design with regard to the provision of space for the technical systems.

This exchange requirement allows for the provision of information at various stages during the design process including outline conceptual or sketch design, full conceptual design and coordinated design. The information provided at each stage is essentially the same. However, the level of certainty regarding equipment and components used will increase at each stage allowing greater certainty in space provision.
It is assumed that the information provisions outlined in the exchange requirement er_exchange_building_model have been satisfied for the project stage concerned. This provides an initial assessment of spaces from the perspective of building design and project details.

Information provided through this exchange requirement includes:

• HVAC component type and size - Note that, for the purposes of this exchange requirement, only those HVAC components having significant size and requiring location within a technical space need to participate.
• Shape representation of component type
• Location and orientation of occurrences of component type
• Proposed technical space specification with area, configuration and height - Note that, at earlier stages of design, area and height only may be given; later stages of design may also propose a space configuration.
• Grouping of spaces into zones served by an identified system

Information may be optionally provided concerning material from which elements are constructed and their classification.
