 Loadsoft 6.0 by Carmel Software is a new update to the popular Loadsoft 4.0 software program. Loadsoft is a commercial and industrial HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) load calculation software package whose calculations are based upon the ASHRAE 2001 Fundamentals radiant time series (RTS) method. These are the latest and most update-to-date calculations provided by ASHRAE.
The purpose of this software is to provide you with total cooling and
heating loads for a building so that you may properly specify the correct
size HVAC equipment (whether it is a packaged rooftop unit or a boiler).
This program is geared specifically toward the HVAC engineer, architect,
design/build mechanical contractor, and building maintenance supervisor.
New Features
-
The Loadsoft 6.0 software has been entirely re-written to take
advantage of the latest programming and back-end database technologies.
In addition, the cooling and heating load calculations have been updated
to conform to the ASHRAE 2001 Fundamentals radiant time series (RTS)
calculations from Chapter 29 and 30. The RTS calculations more
accurately model the load analysis of a building, taking into account
latency of load contributions throughout the day.
-
A new and improved user interface (UI) has been designed making the
input process much faster and more intuitive than previously. This
improved UI includes a tree-like navigation area that allows the user to
view all systems, zones, and areas and their relationships.
-
The user can easily replicate entire projects so as to reuse common
information.
-
An additional 300 cities have been added to the weather database
making the total 800.
-
Individual areas can be grouped by zones for each system.
-
An unlimited number of system and area templates can now be created
so that the user can create new systems and areas using common data from
the templates.
-
The user can input separate cooling and heating ventilation rates.
-
The number of air changes can be specified for the system
ventilation inputs.
-
Boiler cooling and heating temperature differences and boiler
efficiency values can be specified for each system.
-
Simple duct sizes are now calculated for each area based upon CFM.
-
The user can specify system-wide preheating properties.
-
The user can perform cooling and heating equipment selection for
each system.
-
The software can easily integrate with third-party equipment
databases used for the equipment selection discussed above.
-
A local equipment database has also been added allowing the user to
create a customized equipment list.
-
The user can easily move or copy systems, zones, and areas within a
project.
-
The user can specify door types along with the door widths, heights,
u-values, and quantities.
-
Up to 10 different types of walls and windows can be specified for
each area.
-
Up to 7 different types of roofs can be specified for each area.
-
Skylight inputs are now separate from the window inputs.
-
The user can now specify electrical equipment latent loads in
addition to sensible loads.
-
The appliance database has been expanded to include more specialized
office and home equipment.
-
The u-value construction material database has been expanded to
include more common materials.
-
The user can now assign individual occupancy and diversity schedules
to people, lighting, equipment, and miscellaneous load contributions.
Input checks have been incorporated so the user can confirm that inputs
are correct be calculating
-
Quick calculation functionality has been added to each area so that
the user can instantly see the cooling and heating load contributions
for the area.
-
All input and output data can be exported to Microsoft Word and
Excel templates.
-
Reports can be exported to XML format so that they can be shared
with others across networks and operating systems other than Windows.
-
The "what-if scenario" functionality includes more inputs to perform
the what-if analysis.
