Switch to dimensioning

Shows step-by-step how to switch to the dimensioning of the ventilation zones after creating a domestic ventilation concept.

Before you begin

You have created a ventilation concept and want to switch to the dimensioning.

Requirements:

You have a building structure available.
You have assigned a ventilation concept to the ventilation zones.

Navigate to:

Module overview ➤ Domestic ventilation concept DIN 1946-6 ➤ Structural level of ventilation zone

Ventilation concept Ventilation zones Linear Building

Procedure

Select a ventilation zone in the building structure.
Click the Switch to dimensioning button.

Results

LINEAR Building opens the module Residential Ventilation - Dimensioning and Quotation, where you can select manufacturers with presets, preset ventilation systems, design the ventilation zones and print the results including an air flow schedule.
