Plan Task Overview
Overview
[video/gif like 3D overview video]
In the plan task you model your plan and create design options based on the surveyed plan. The plan is the building floor plan as surveyed in it's current state. In the design options you can then:
- Place where new radiators, the heat pump and cylinder will go on the plan and specify any relevant accessories
- Specify emitters, view room details and input any heat loss overrides.
- Complete sound assessment (UK only)
- Complete ventilation calculations
Changes made to the room temperature, ACH and emitters are specific to each option. Changes will not apply across plans. Adjust the Plan if you would like changes to apply to each option.
Starting your surveyed floor plan
Before starting plan, make sure you've set up your material library with default palettes. This will save you having to create a material palette each time.
Complete initial plan
(link to other guides that go into more detail on individual steps - want overall video covering everything) https://help.heatpunk.co.uk/books/plan-task/chapter/creating-a-floor-plan. Expand emitter section in floor plan guide with warning to explain differences between plans again and adding existing underfloor.
Once you have completed your surveyed plan, click Finish Plan at the top. This will then take you to a plan called Option 1 where you can model emitter changes, heat pump and hot water placement and any accessories.
Ventilation calculations
Ventilation calc - does this need a video? maybe to show where you can edit it because it's a bit hidden and to emphasise that its calculated per plan but settings are consistent across plans. Then link to ventilation calc guide, this guide will just cover complete basics of where do I complete, where do I edit?
Sound check (UK)
