Popular Building Services Software for Increased Efficiency, Cost Savings and Speed Of Execution

Building services software is used by HVAC professionals, contractors, architects, engineers and other professionals to increase the efficiency of their work in a cost-effective way as these solutions have many inbuilt features that make their projects easier to deliver. One can easily complete advanced engineering calculations with accuracy. The computer programs are extensively used by engineers providing building services for residential and commercial buildings in Australia and throughout the world.

Here, we will discuss the main features of some of the popular building services software, including automatic fire sprinkler design software. Automatic sprinkler system, building air conditioning load analysis and psychometrics, and other software.



HYENA: The automatic fire sprinkler design software can be used for fire hydrant and hose reel installations or combined sprinkler, hydrant and hose reel systems. The computer program performs a complete hydraulic analysis determining the water flow in and pressure drop through each pipe in the network.

Other key features of the HYENA automatic sprinkler system include:

·       The computer program can be used to carry out a sprinkler system analysis in accordance with NFPA, NZ4541. AS2118 and SSPC52 specifications.

·       The program operates under WINDOWS and all input data is via a series of screens.

·       All nodes that are not nominated as discharge or input points are automatically assigned as reference nodes to save input time.

·       A wide range of fittings are provided  with equivalent lengths stored in the program.

·       Booster pumps can be located anywhere in the network with backflow preventers.

·       In a grid, sprinkler elevations can be fixed at a given height, entered across a row, or single or pitched slope across the grid row.

·       The calculations use a process of matrix inversion to solve the differential equations for each loop in the system.

·       The results screen of  HYENA includes a summary of the flows and pressure for all discharges and all input points in an automatic sprinkler system.

CAMEL: This heat load calculation program calculates the design heating and cooling loads and associated psychometrics for air conditioning plants in buildings. The licensed program by ACADS-BSG is used by over 250 organizations throughout Australia, New Zealand, and Southeast Asia. It models a range of system types including constant volume heating and cooling, VAV with and without reheat, evaporative coolers and reverse cycle heat pumps.

Other key features of CAMEL heat load calculation software include:

·       Graphical displays are provided for schedules and shading schemes, and for each external wall or roof.

·       The program caters for overhangs complete with drop panels and reveals on both windows and walls.

·       Shadow pattern of the shading can be viewed by the user as they traverse any selected wall or roof as the time and month vary.

·       Drop panels, balconies, light wells, and all manner of shading schemes can be modelled by the program.

CAMEL heat load calculation computer program calculates chiller, AHU, zone and rook loads and air quantities, boiler, zone and room heating loads, and reheat quantities with and without coil reset.

It provides a comprehensive set of results including summary tables of loads and air quantities, tables of check figures and load charts.

The results of CAMEL heat load calculation software can also be displayed graphically, and a psychometric chart is provided for each AHU.

Some more other building services computer programs offered by ACADS-BSG for use in Australia, New Zealand, and other parts of Northern and Southern hemispheres that you may find useful include DONKEY for sizing, acoustical analysis, and costing of ductwork, SPRINK automatic fire sprinkler for use in North America, DOLPHIN for sizing and pressure drop calculations of duct runs, LLAMA for lift design for commercial buildings, and many more.

How is HVAC Software Helping HVAC Businesses?

Image
Over the last decade, the HVAC industry has grown significantly. It's exploding at a breakneck pace. It already employs over 300,000 people in Australia, but it has shown significant growth in the last few years or so. The boom in residential and commercial building construction is driving the rapid growth. Chances are, your business is doing well as well. While this is something that every firm would like to do, it is a difficult field that quickly becomes more complicated with each professional you add to your team. You may have realized that dealing with spreadsheets is no longer an option for you and are looking for software that is appropriate for your HVAC company. What is HVAC software? HVAC software is intended to help businesses run more profitably and efficiently. This essential device tracks and records customer calls, coordinates HVAC task scheduling and technical dispatching, and helps your team grow sales with simple and efficient invoicing and estimating templ

Why is it Critical to Have the Load Capacity Of Your New Air Conditioner Read and Measured Before It Is Completely Operational?

Image
Summer is still here, and if you're thinking about replacing your old worn-out systems before you turn off the air conditioners when Autumn arrives, consider having the model's load capacity read and assessed. ACADS-BSG recommends installing an air conditioner load calculator, such as KOALA – load calculator. Our KOALA programme was created using cutting-edge technologies to assure accuracy and affordability. One of the most important considerations for installing an air conditioner loadcalculator is establishing the machine's power loading capacity. The amount of cooling power it is capable of producing. It is, certainly, one of the most difficult problems to solve, but it is critical to give you with the most effective equipment for your hard-earned money. The following is a rundown of how everything works. Many people want to buy the most powerful and largest air conditioner that they could easily afford since more power means faster cooling qualities. This holds true
