ASHRAE Commercial Duct Calculations

Overview. ASHRAE's precision measurements and duct fitting database form the basis for accurate duct system calculations determined by RightCommDuctTM. With this module, you can compute duct and fitting size based on air flow with appropriate velocity limits, and then the software tells you the required fan pressure and total air flow. Right-CommDuct requires at least one load calculation module in order to operate (Right-J, Right-CommLoadTM, Right-N or Right-F280TM.) Bottom Line. The fastest way to calculate your commercial ASHRAE duct designs!

Right-CommDuct is based on the ASHRAE database of ducts and fittings to allow for accurate commercial duct design. Shown here is an example of Right-CommDuct with Right-Comm2Line for CAD-quality duct designs.

   You can select equal friction, modified equal friction, static regain or even put in your own duct sizes. Select your materials to be sheet metal, fiberglass, vinyl flex, metal flex in rectangular, round, or oval. The additional special calculation mode, Existing System, lets you diagnose problem systems and calculate What if scenarios. y Specify the available fan pressure, draw an existing real world duct system, and then specify the actual duct sizes. Right-CommDuct then calculates the air flow that will actually come out of each register! y You can compare this to correct air flow, as calculated by Right-CommLoadTM, to identify the problem areas. Using this approach, you can see what it will take to fix a bad system. When the design air flows match the (modified) actual air flows, you have a correctly-sized system.

Preset which ASHRAE fitting you want to use in nearly all common situations, for each material type. So when you draw a trunk with reductions, or when a takeoff is required, Right-CommDuct knows which ASHRAE fitting you want to use, automatically. The Right-CommDuct fully integrates with all of the load calculation modules, as well the Right-Proposal (professional proposals and instant parts take off lists), Right-Sales, and Right-$TM operating cost analysis modules. Save time with drag and drop design by using Right-Draw!

Simple, Drag-and-Drop Tool for Fast Load Calculations and Designs!

Overview. Right-Draw is a revolutionary product that simplifies load calculations and system design from duct design to parts takeoff list. With Right-Draw, you can draw your certified Manual J, ASHRAE, or HRAI load and the rest can be done automatically. If you need to save time in load calculations or design, then Right-Draw is the tool for you. Right-Draw requires at least one load calculation module in order to operate (RightJ, Right-CommLoadTM, Right-N or Right-F280TM.) Bottom Line. No more data entry, no more mental gymnastics, no more wasted time!

"Right-Draw is an amazing time saver! It has allowed me to cut my labor expense by 70%. Now I have more time to meet with customers, produce more estimates, and increase my sales."
- Bob Petriangelo, Comfort Solution

Load calculations have never been easier with Right-Draw! Data is automatically entered into the load spreadsheet for you by dragging and dropping the HVAC ShapesTM onto the Right-Draw screen. These smart objects store all of the property information, making it easy for you to complete your calculation and designs. In addition, thanks to our Hotlink TechnologyTM any changes you make automatically update the worksheet, design, proposal - every module you own! Your load calculations are certified to be accurate, no matter what ACCA or ASHRAE method you are using.   Right-Draw is the easy to use, drag-and-drop data entry tool that enters data into the load worksheet automatically and completes accurate load calculations. The fastest way to get detailed and block load calculations. Heating and cooling loads are calculated as you draw!  Draw a room and have 7 aspects of the load automatically entered in the load calculation worksheet. Every wall, ceiling, floor will be entered with infiltration, ventilation, duct loss and gain, and internal gains. Right-Draw automatically recognizes adjacent conditioned and unconditioned spaces (even above and below), there are no extra steps for interior or partition walls. Add an unlimited amount of floors and rooms, including unlimited zone capabilities with easy drag and

drop zoning and color-coding!  Import AutoCAD files easily as shown to the right for calculations from pre-drawn plans. Even write back your notes and designs for paperless communication with builders! With the Hotlink Technology, if an aspect of your design or loads changes, all the affected components automatically adjust to the new conditions including designs, sizing, and parts take-off lists! Ability to make global changes to orientation and building properties make it easy to try different What If? situations Right-Draw links all of the other RightSuiteTM Universal modules making it easy to complete fast load calculations and designs including low and high-velocity duct designs and sizing and radiant floor designs. Instant parts takeoff lists, automatic proposal and in-home sales solutions are also available!
