ASHRAE Commercial Duct Calculations

Overview. ASHRAE's precision measurements and duct fitting database

form the basis for accurate duct system calculations determined by Right-
CommDuctTM. 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.

More Right-CommDuct Information

 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.
 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!
 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 (Right-
J®, 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

your settings to have a block load done in just minutes!

More Right-Draw Information

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 Shapes TM 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 Right-
SuiteTM 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!
