HVAC Contractors, General Contractors, Raters, and Code Officials take advantage of this easy to use ventilation strategy tool!
This tool simplifies the ASHRAE 62.2 2010 and 2013 standard for spot and whole house ventilation systems. The tool performs calculations for mechanical ventilation, infiltration credits, intermittent ventilation, and duct sizing which makes compliance with 62.2 a snap. Plus, once you have calculated your required ventilation flows, the tool will recommend products specific to your system ranked on CFM per watt usage.
When you’re done, you can email project specific reports that contain system specifications and product information directly from the app. The tool provides design assistance for the best home performance. Use it in the field or as a diagnostic or training tool. Bring consistency and value to your work by developing ventilation strategies with confidence!
Co-developed as a support tool for professional ventilation installers by the experts at Panasonic Ventilation and Advanced Energy!
Step-by-Step:
Step 1: Enter Project Information: Store vital project information such as address, point of contact and email/phone for convenient reference wherever you are.
Step 2: Standards: Choose between ASHRAE 62.2 2010 or ASHRAE 62.2 2013 standards, either new or existing construction, and whole building or spot scenarios.
Step 3: Ventilation Rate: Calculate your continuous ventilation rate by entering the square footage and number of stories for your project.
Step 4: Infiltration Credits: Easily find infiltration credits by inputting blower door test results, square footage and number of stories in your building if applicable to the standard selected.
Step 5: Intermittent Ventilation: Quickly determine intermittent ventilation necessary to achieve total ventilation based on fan cycle time and on-cycle time.
Step 6: System Design: Build a system to meet your project’s ventilation requirements selecting between exhaust, supply or balanced strategies.
Step 7: Product Recommendations: Get Panasonic product recommendations ranked by CFM/WATT to help select the most energy efficient solution for your ventilation strategy.
Step 8: Report: Email a report that details the entire project in an easy to read format for record keeping and regulatory compliance.
Compatibility: Requires iOS 7.0 or later. Compatible with iPhone 5 or later.
