Does anyone know where I can find a list of QC checks for building modelling? Although I review my models, I would love to get my hands on a list of checks that some expert uses.
What kind of list are you looking for. Sure, everytime you simulate a model, QC returns a list of errors and warnings (hopefully it just returns warnings) but I guess I'm not sure what you mean.
From my perpective the main reason to do the QC check is to make sure that the project will simulate. Errors must be fixed to run a simulation however fixing the warnings is optional. The warnings seem to be deviations from the default values. I always like to look through the warnings because one of the items that I always get a lot of are missing schedules some are important some are not. Other warnings that I see a lot of are wrong wall types, which I always fix, and missing fans or incorrectly sized equipment. As far as incorrectly sized equipment is concerned, I would never want to rely on Mkt Mgr to size everything. Mkt Mgr is at it's best when it is comparing scenarios.
I think he is looking for QC checks in general, ie.
lighting should be 0.7 to 2 W/SQFT, Chiller tons per square foot should be...etc.
We are adding some rules of thumb to this website very soon.
They might help.
