Loads Summary Report
The Loads report (under Reports in the left sidebar) shows the results of HVAKR’s load calculations. Instead of one flat table, the report is scope-driven: you pick a scope in the sidebar tree, and the pane shows the cooling and heating results for that scope.
Choosing a Scope
Section titled “Choosing a Scope”A tree sidebar on the right drives the whole report. It is a single hierarchy — Project → System → Zone → Space — with systems, zones, and spaces sorted by name, and numbered names in numeric order (AHU 2 before AHU 10). Expand a system to see its zones, expand a zone to see its spaces, and click Project or an individual system, zone, or space to make it the active scope. Clicking Project returns to the whole-building view.
Zones with no system and spaces with no zone are not hidden. They appear under an Unassigned Zones node at the system level, and unzoned spaces sit inside it under an Unassigned Spaces node. Zones inside Unassigned Zones keep their model order rather than name order. Select the individual zone or space inside those groups to scope the report to it; selecting the group node itself shows Project Totals.
The pane header shows the current scope: Project Totals for the project, or the system, zone, or space name when one is selected. Everything below the header reflects that scope only — there are no filter or sort controls, and no space-by-space table.
If the project has no building model yet, the sidebar shows a No Building Model prompt with a Go to Spaces button.
Tables and Chart Views
Section titled “Tables and Chart Views”At the top of the pane, a two-icon toggle switches between the tables view (the default, list icon) and the chart view (chart icon). An information card sits above both views and summarizes the scope:
- Floor Area
- Number of Systems, Number of Zones, Number of Spaces — shown for the scopes they apply to
- Space Type — for a single space
- Cooling Peak Time and Heating Peak Time (heating is always Winter Design)
- Cooling Source and Heating Source — the coil types configured for a zone or system
Tables View
Section titled “Tables View”The Tables view stacks cooling cards, then heating cards.
Cooling Sums at Peak
Section titled “Cooling Sums at Peak”A Cooling Sums at Peak card shows Space Sensible Components alongside System Sensible & Latent Components, followed by a checksums card named for the scope (Project Checksums, System Checksums, Zone Checksums, or Space Checksums). When the project has more than one cooling equipment mode, one checksums card appears per mode with the mode name in parentheses. The Space Sensible Components breakdown is grouped into totals:
- Internal Total — People Sensible, Lighting, Equipment, Miscellaneous Sensible
- External Total — Wall, Window, Door, Roof, Skylight, Slab
- Infiltration Sensible Total — Door, Window, and General Infiltration Sensible
Latent and ventilation loads (People Latent, Ventilation Sensible/Latent, and the infiltration latent lines) appear in the System Sensible & Latent Components table, not in the space sensible breakdown.
Scope Data
Section titled “Scope Data”Below the sums, a data card shows results for the active scope:
- Project Cooling Data — for the project scope
- Space Cooling Data — for a single space
- Central … Data / Terminal … Data — for a system or zone, one card per equipment mode, titled with the mode name and the scope name (for example,
Central Cooling Data - AHU-1)
Heating
Section titled “Heating”The Heating Sums at Peak card mirrors the cooling layout — Space Sensible Components, System Sensible Components, and the scope-named checksums card — followed by the matching Project Heating Data, Space Heating Data, or per-mode Central … Data / Terminal … Data card.
Chart View
Section titled “Chart View”The Chart view shows a Cooling Loads Profile — an hourly load curve for the peak month, with a 2D / 3D toggle. For a zone or system scope, a Peak Coincidence card below it scatters each child zone or space by the month and hour of its cooling peak, so you can see how peaks spread across the scope.
Exporting
Section titled “Exporting”The pane header has an Export Loads button. It opens Reports > Exports with the Create Export dialog set to the Loads Report (PDF). A caret menu beside it offers the CSV exports — Loads Report CSV and Time Series Loads CSV. Each choice takes you to the export dialog, where you set the options and scope. See PDF Export for the export types, options, and scope controls.
Verification Checklist
Section titled “Verification Checklist”Use the Loads report to sanity-check a design before exporting:
- Peak times look right — west-facing zones peak in the afternoon, east-facing in the morning
- Components balance — envelope and solar dominate the perimeter, internal loads dominate the core
- Ventilation is present — every zone and system shows outdoor air, meeting ASHRAE 62.1
- Sources are set — the Cooling Source and Heating Source fields reflect the coils you configured
