Facility Simulation Model for Advanced BMD Systems. Volume VB: HVAC/PC Module: Program Reference Manual.

Abstract

The HVAC/PC Module volume is divided into a user's manual, a program reference manual, and a program listing. The HVAC/PC Module develops a conceptual design for the HVAC and PC system and estimates its initial and life-cycle costs. The computer programs, whose algorithms are explained herein, are capable of comparing various system configurations in terms of cost, performance, and reliability. Although HVAC/PC Programs 1 and 2 were designed to be used in conjunction with other modules (structural, power generation, electrical distribution, etc.), they can be used separately to design and analyze only the HVAC and PC systems of a given hardened facility. This program reference manual outlines the intended use of each program and explains the algorithms that make up each program part.
