The Elite Software RHVAC Program quickly and
accurately calculates peak heating and cooling loads
for residential and small commercial buildings in
accordance with the eighth edition of the ACCA Manual
J. The Heat Transfer Multipliers (HTM values) for all
the walls, windows, doors, and roofs listed in Manual
J are stored and automatically looked up by the
program as needed. Although HTM values are taken from
Manual J directly, the user does have the option of
entering his own U-Value for each wall, roof, or glass
section so that a modified HTM value is used. Desi
weather data for over 1500 cities is built-in to the
program. In addition, the user can revise the existing
weather data and add additional weather data as
desired. Zoning cfm adjustments are automatically
handled by the program as needed. Other outstanding
features include exterior glass shading, ventilation
air, miscellaneous latent loads, default room data,
automatic rotation of the entire building, hydroni
heat calculations and much more.
Besides calculating peak heating and cooling loads,
RHVAC can also calculate the length of tubing needed
for hydronic radiant floors and runout and main trunk
duct sizes. Additionally, RHVAC creates sales
proposals and selects hvac equipment Duct sizing
options include all types of duct materials, height
and width restrictions, velocity limits, and more.
For equipment selection, RHVAC is provided with a
database derived from ARI and GAMA of thousands of
equipment models from over 80 hvac manufacturers.
Standard air conditioners, heat pumps, furnaces,
boilers, and ground source heat pumps are among the
types of equipment RHVAC can select. The sales
proposal feature of RHVAC prints key features of the
proposed equipment and work to be performed. Also
included are standard terms and conditions of the
