Hi All,
I'm looking for some advice on Zoning in the 90.1 PRM navigator. Is the navigator set up to automatically zone the building based on HVAC systems because of the way you put the systems into ApacheHVAC. Does it just consider each multiplex or each individual system set up to be a thermal block?
Thanks in advance for any advice!

Re: PRM Zoning
Hi,
There is a Help link from the IESVE Navigator for PRM that may help you here. You need to decide on a zoning strategy yourself but if you do this and then assign to appropriate room groups your project management will be far better and you will find it easier to apply the data for the analysis.

IES provides training on the use of this Navigator for 90.1 assessments and will teach you how best to use the Navigator, advanced tips in VE and how the workflow can help you to complete your projects using the tools available so I'd certainly recommend you look into this if you can. I do appreciate that different people will develop their own ways of working as well so perhaps some others are willing to share here too.
