Right-CommLoad™
ASHRAE RTS/CLTD Load Calculations:
Right-CommLoad™ is based on the internationally accepted ASHRAE heat loss/gain standards (ASHRAE 62 standard ventilation calculations), and supports both CLTD and RTS load calculation methods. This program uses the 24-hour by 12 month ASHRAE Handbook of Fundamentals methods to compute light, medium or heavy heating and cooling loads for an unlimited number of zones. View overview video.
Features:
In conjunction with Right-Draw®, Right-CommLoad™ will rapidly calculate your load once building materials are selected. Right-CommLoad™ uses a layer-by-layer construction material builder, prebuilt with hundreds of common materials and building components and the option to add materials with custom thermal properties. With our exclusive Hotlink™ technology, Right-CommLoad™ will recalculate instantly as you enter figures enabling you to play "What If?" just by changing one value in the easy-to-understand form.
Right-CommLoad™ Applications:
Build extensive libraries, or use our pre-loaded libraries. These libraries contain hundreds of building material types for building surfaces and offers the ability to create unlimited custom material types. Building material types already within the program range from standard frame materials to structural insulated panels, insulated concrete forms, log walls, encapsulated attics, sealed craws (spray foam/dense packed cellulose applications, and so much more. This program can also can accommodate custom materials which can either be built as layers of components or entered with pre-engineered numbers and can be saved and reused.
Easily assign VAV boxes, air handlers and central plants as you need them. With our easy-to-use drag and drop multi-zone tree, choose to specify equipment type easily. Each space has its own targeted temperature and can be grouped with other spaces simply by dragging from one piece of equipment to another within the multi-zone tree.
View the shape of load peaks and valleys. Right-CommLoad™ offers a colorful Load Meter which shows the shape of load peaks, not only over 24 hours, but also over 12 months, giving you a full range of possible conditions effecting your load, as well as automatically highlight the peak month and peak hour.
Support custom scenario building. Choose to utilize the included Handbook of Fundamentals Scenarios for common commercial building types like offices, warehouses, churches or restaurants. You can edit Scenarios or create your own.
Edit usage parameters using Schedules. Easily turn on lights at 7AM and then gradually turn them off, starting at 4PM, or whatever contour you choose. This may be applied to people, thermostat settings, plug loads, et cetera. Right-CommLoad™ also calculates loads for odd usage facilities like a churches or nightclubs, with great accuracy.
Customize building material options used for each project. Make global changes, or change on a case by case basis to material options such as color, shading, delta t, et cetera.
Calculate fresh air requirements using ASHRAE 62 methods. ASHRAE 62 is required by Energy Star and other building codes and programs.
