  7. Air Diffuser Schedule - Mounting Type & Material

    It would be nice to include (2) additional properties within the diffuser schedule:

    1) Mounting type (i.e. Surface Mount, Lay-In, Spiral Duct, etc.)
    2) Material (Steel, Aluminum, etc.)

  8. It would be nice to have a "format painter" type option.

    It would be nice to have a "format painter" type option which copied/pasted properties, especially for ductwork. For example: click the paintbrush, select the item with properties to be copied, then select the item to apply them to.

  9. Have the option to assign a fixed Outside Air CFM to a zone. This will help address over-ventilation to maintain positive building pressure

    Have the option to assign a fixed Outside Air CFM to a zone. This will help address zones that need over-ventilation to maintain a positive building pressure.

  11. Room Peak Load Map

    It could be useful if there was a Load Calculation Map which indicated when a room peaked in cooling. Perhaps two maps, time of day and which month. It may be useful when determining the zoning.

  13. Use actual room CFM from diffusers rather than calculated for ventilation calculation

    We are having issues with permits using the ASHRAE Ventilation calculation because DM is using the calculated CFMs instead of actual CFMs on plans. We are having to tweak all the load inputs and use minimum air flows to spit out correct CFMs in ventilation calculation. The loads have actual loads print out, so maybe this is an easy fix.

  14. Highlight Locked Duct Sizes

    We often need to lock a duct size or sizes for various reasons. After creating large sprawling duct systems, it is difficult to track these locked ducts so that we can check them when airflows change and resize them if necessary.

  16. Diffuser Insertion at Corner (for Ceiling Grids)

    Have the option to insert diffusers at the corner of the diffuser, not the center. This change would assist in placing diffusers properly in ceiling grids.

  18. Negative Equipment Loads for Open Cases in Grocery Stores

    Grocery stores include open refrigeration cases. These loads need to be subtracted from the cooling load and added to the heating load. Using a negative equipment load works for the cooling load, but not the heating load.

    Make it so that a negative equipment load is added to the heating load.

  20. Different Connection Options for Different Types of Diffusers

    Have the "Diffuser Connection Settings" be able to be set based upon airflow type. For example, supply ducts always connect with flexible and return ducts connect with hard.
