First of all I want to explain my BIG project that needs to be modelled.
Information:
-The total building area exceeds 500,000 sq.mt (GF+1st+2nd+3rd+B2+B1) floors (Airport in Kuwait)(15 MAP)
-Central Plan consists of (18 parrallel chillers, CHWP(9 primary, 11 secondary + 9 condenser water pumps), 18 cooling towers) District Cooling only.
-More than +180 AHUS (100% FAHU , AHUs for Displacement Ventilation, VAV AHUs, CAV AHUs (for substation) ).
My questions:
E+ is new for me, I have done all exercises in the getting started. I'm aware of most of the classes and objects.
-Can you guide me on the process of taking this project forward in E+?
-Do I have to model all of the equipment mentioned up, in addition to other Exhause Fans, Smoke Fans..etc?
I mean you can imagine the project how big it is.
My Available Data:
-I have the 3d model of the project in googlesketchup(openstudio) (I'm aware of using this tool).
-I have completed till the "Schedules Class" in the .IDF file.
Recommendations:
-I prefer to work on the 3d model in googlesketchup, since the profile of the building is complicated (your advice is still appreciated).
