When a user has assigned a thermal zone to a Zone Service Hot Water Group, the letters (SG) will appear at the end of the thermal zone listing on the Project Tree.
At a basic level, the table contains three columns. Once a Zone Service Hot Water (SHW) Group has been created (New) the user can then select one or more thermal zones from the Project Tree or Plan View and drag and drop them into the table and associate them with a specific Zone Group.
Tip: When dragging and dropping thermal zones from the Project Tree, make sure to drop them on the Zone Group name.
The unique name that is assigned by default or is entered by the user. The name entered is the one that will appear in the Project Tree under Zone Groups/Service Hot Water Groups.
Note: The user can select within the cell and edit the text directly to create a new name and/or edit the existing.
Creates a new row in the table, and provides a default unique (sequential) name in the Zone Group List column.
The user can select a Zone Group and then by selecting delete they can remove that Zone Group from the model.
Unlike the other Zone Group types, Service Hot Water Templates are only displayed in the Template cell of each row in the table. One or multiple templates can be selected by clicking Assign/Edit Templates
Clicking this button will open a dialog, as seen in the image above, where you can choose one or more Fixture Templates to assign to the SHW group. These templates can be created and edited in the Libraries tab under "Water Equipment|Service Hot Water". To add a template to the Zone Group, select one or more template names under Available Fixture Templates and click Add. To remove, select one or more templates under Assigned Fixture Templates and click Remove.
Click Save to apply any changes made in the Assign/Edit Templates pop up
Click Cancel to discard any changes made in the Assign/Edit Templates pop up
By selecting Edit Value the user can directly access the selected Service Hot Water Template via a pop-up window as shown in the image above. Within the pop-up window the user can make changes to the template just as they would if they went to the Templates/Data Templates/Service Hot Water workspace.
Saves the template changes to the Project Model Source Library associated with the project.
Closes the template properties pop up. Will discard any changes made if Save isn't clicked first.
Tip: If just reviewing the Templates content and no changes have been made, just select Close or the red X in the upper right of the pop-up dialog to close it without saving.
After assigning templates, the SHW Group needs to be assigned to a SHW systems loop. From the dropdown, you can select a loop that already exists in the model or create a new, default SHW Loop. SHW Loops can be edited in the Systems tab under Create/Edit Water Loops.
Add Thermal Zones to the Group by dragging and dropping or using the right-click menu
Assign a SHW system loop to the Group by selecting or creating a loop from the drop-down
