This tool can be used to boost your productivity when connecting HVAC plant loops to equipment in Zone groups and Air loops. To connect one or more Plant loops to one or more HVAC loops and Zone groups:
Navigate to HVAC System level.
Select all loops and Zone groups to be connected. Use Ctrl-mouse click or the rubber band selection tool to select more than one object.
The diagram below illustrates the process.
Tip: The initial positioning of loops and zone groups can significantly affect the layout of connections generated. DesignBuilder doesn't try to avoid line intersections, so sometimes the connection layout won't look quite as you would draw it yourself. However if you’re not happy with the result you can always undo the connection, reposition the objects and try again.
Note: There are some limitations in what can be connected to what. For example you can’t connect condenser loops to chilled water loops, but most objects will connect.
