Catalogues of ventilation system elements
Ventilation system elements catalogues for InstalSystem package include various types of ventilation system elements that allow you to design a complete mechanical ventilation installation in a residential building. The catalog can include, for example: ducts (rigid and flexible), recuperators and air handling units, manifolds, supply and exhaust vents, air intakes, exhaust vents and silencers. As a result of the calculations, in addition to a set of results of pressure losses in the installation and required ventilation air flows, the program automatically generates detailed bills of materials. InstalSystem package includes neutral catalogs with typical ventilation system components and a library of company catalogues (check the list: Partners offering company versions of programs and catalogues).
