air-conditioning and ventilation system with the help of heat load calculations for a multispecialty hospital using Revit Modelling software. Autodesk's Revit building information modelling (BIM) software is going to be used for 3D building design and construction documentation tool. Revit had allowed designers to analyze the annual and peak heating and cooling loads of their designs using Energy plus BTO's opensource building energy modelling engine. It provides architects with directional guidance, steering them towards the load-reducing building shapes, space plans. and envelope designs that are the bones of any energy-efficient building. The heat load calculations for the multispecialty hospital are going to be done manually. The design standards used will be as per the ISHRAE standards. The design of air conditioning and ventilation system using the Revit modelling software will be suggested for the multispecialty hospital.

To design an air conditioning and ventilation system with the help of heat load calculations for the multispecialty hospital using Revit modelling software.

1.3 Scope of work

1.INTRODUCTION

This project briefly introduces the principal components of cooling load of a building, namely, wall transmission, solar effect, internal heat gain (light, equipment, occupants) orientation of building, etc. The building sector is growing at a rapid pace and is the third largest consumer of energy, after industry and agriculture. Environmentally benign technologies and practices in this sector can address sustainability issues and contribute to conservation of national resources, besides saving on the operating costs.

Heat load calculation is a fundamental skill for HVAC designers and consultants. Consider that space cooling is among the highest energy expenses in buildings, especially during the summer. However, to properly size a space cooling system, first we must know the amount of heat that must be removed - this is precisely the purpose of heat load calculation. Heat in buildings can come from internal sources such as electrical appliances, or from external sources such as the sun. A heat load calculation considers all sources present and determines their total effect. The sum of all these heat sources is known as the heat gain (or heat load) of the building, and is expressed either in BTU (British Thermal Units) or Kw (Kilowatts). For an air conditioner to cool a room or building its output must be greater than the heat gain. It is important before purchasing an air conditioner that a heat load calculation is performed to ensure it is big enough for the intended application. Revit Building Information Modelling software helps engineers, designers and contractors across the mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) disciplines model to a high level of detail and co-ordinate with building project contributors.
