Air Loops

Air loops are used by EnergyPlus to distribute mechanically driven air to zones. In the Air loops provided by DesignBuilder, the air flow supplied into the zones is the same as the flow out. In other words air leakage is not accounted for.

There are four pre-defined air loops provided by detailed HVAC:

• Generic single duct air loop
• Generic dual duct air loop
• Unitary heat pump air loop
• Unitary heat/cool air loop
