MODELLING BUILDING ELEMENTS
- When I model a skillion roof that has different degree pitch in different rooms (i.e. 10 degrees and 25 degrees), it changes it for both rooms to the same number. Is there a setting I should be selecting so I can model them as different values?
- How would I model an In-Slab Heating System with BERS Pro?
- Instructions for modelling BERS Pro v4.3 and later Opaque Louvres
- Regarding the Maximum Ceiling Height setting requirement and given the average single level new home with slab on ground and the garage the highest point, should the garage be included?
- How do I model openings (doors or windows) in 'neighbour' walls and corridors?
- Can you clarify wall heights in relation to storeys?
- Can you please explain what is meant by wall thickness?
- Do we draw the zone to the inside or outside wall dimensions?
- Do I model an external wall adjacent to an external corridor in a unit block as neighbour?
- I have a skillion roof with a ceiling having a similar slope below. Do I have to put the wall height in to the high side wall or does the program work this out? What about the side walls?
- How do I model a wall that has a cavity brick bottom half and stud frame top strip?
- How do I mirror image a plan?
- How do I model a coffer ceiling constructed from an extra 300 mm raised section in the middle of a flat ceiling?
- How should I model a floor with an enclosed car park below that is mechanically ventilated?
- We have been looking at Hebel Power Floor (an aerated concrete product). Would this be modelled as suspended concrete or just as bulk insulation?
- I am having trouble with my interior walls that are all coming up as external walls but are actually all internal walls. What is the problem?
- The house I am modelling has two skillion roofs at different levels which means the top section of an internal wall becomes external. How do I model the external section?
- I am modelling a dwelling with a courtyard or roofless void in the middle of the building. The walls to the courtyard have windows and doors. How do I model the eaves?
- Is BERS capable of dealing with the curved roof and ceiling?
- How do we model paint?
- If a suspended slab sits over four rooms but doesn’t cover all of them i.e. two rooms have a 50:50 ratio of suspended slab ceiling and general plasterboard ceiling to roof space, how can I model different ceiling characteristics for the same zone?
- How do I model timber laminate flooring?
- If I have a porch which has two ¾ walls closed in as an entrance, do I model this as an eave line or an unconditioned space?
- How should I model an internal pool?
- How do I go about simulating a cement render finish on a brick veneer wall?
- How do I model the Zego 150 Series, Formcraft-Formpro, Eco Block type systems?
- How do I model straw bales?
- How does one treat a wall that is retaining (i.e. block work)?
- Do I use ‘bare’ as the floor covering if the floors are timber? The downstairs is a concrete slab with floating timber floor and upstairs is also timber.
