Design Journal Entry - Module 10

For this weeks exercise, the plumbing system are created. Two restroom are created with chilled water, hot water supply, and waste water disposal. Rain water collection are proposed to be placed around the ground of the building. The collected rain water will be transfered to grey water unit in floor 0 for saving natural resources. The major challenge in this part is the alignment of the pipes. It is hard to track pipes from different floor in a 3D view. After visiting OH, the hotkey “T+M” can trim the pipes together to create connection between pipes.

Your Design Journal entries for this module should highlight your design thinking and analysis results that influenced your decisions about:

• your overall HVAC system strategy
• your heating strategy and how you implemented it in your design
• your cooling strategy and how you implemented it
• any special HVAC system challenges that you encountered
