and the result (180) will be inserted into the input item. The calculator recognizes the following
mathematical symbols:
" Multiplication: * Example: 20*9=
" Division: / Example: 100/5=
" Addition: + Example: 46.1+85.9=
" Subtraction: - Example: 100-84=
In addition, compound equations can be entered if necessary. For example: 100-9*8+12=

For both HAP and HAP System Design Load users, the system design portions of the program (weather,
spaces, systems, walls, roofs, windows, doors, external shades) do not yet offer this integrated on-line
calculator feature. Until these portions can be upgraded to include the integrated calculator, the
Windows On-Line Calculator must be used instead. The following example illustrates how to use the
Windows calculator.
Example: You need to enter the floor area for a space, but you only know the floor dimensions are 17 ft
by 32 ft. The Windows Calculator can be used to compute the floor area and then insert it into HAP as
follows:
1. Start the Windows Calculator: From the Windows desktop, press Start. On the Start Menu choose
Programs. On the Programs Menu choose Accessories. On the Accessories Menu choose
Calculator. If you don t need the calculator right away, minimize the Calculator window by pressing
the minimize button on the Calculator title bar. The calculator will be available for use whenever
you need it.
The Windows Calculator is a program supplied with the Windows operating system. For typical
Windows installations it is placed in the Accessories program group.
2. While running HAP and entering space data, display the Calculator by pressing the Calculator button
that appears on your taskbar. The Calculator will appear.
3 Calculate the floor area by pressing the calculator keypad buttons for the equation 17 * 32 = . The
result (544) will appear in the calculator display.
4. Copy the result to the clipboard: Choose the Edit option in the Calculator menu bar. Then choose the
Copy option on the Edit Menu. This copies the result of your equation (544) to the Windows
clipboard.
5. Return to HAP and place the cursor in the floor area text box by clicking once on this text box so the
default floor area is highlighted.
6. Finally, on your keyboard, hold the [Shift] key down and press [Ins]. This inserts the contents of the
Windows clipboard into the input field. The value 544 will appear as your floor area, replacing the
previous floor area value.
A.5 DUPLICATING AN EXISTING ITEM
While entering data, it is often useful to create new items using defaults from an existing item. For
example, a series of spaces in a building might use the same wall and window constructions and the same
lighting levels and schedules. Defining this series of spaces with each new space based on the last
space s data can yield a tremendous increase in productivity. You only need to change a handful of
space inputs for each successive space, rather than specifying every input item for each space.
The Duplicate feature in HAP is used for this purpose. For example, when you duplicate a space, a new
space is created using input data from the original space as defaults. Many readers will be familiar with
the Copy and Paste features commonly offered in Windows software. HAP s Duplicate feature combines
Copy and Paste into one function. So in one step, Duplicate lets you make a copy of an item and paste it
into your project.
There are three ways to make a duplicate of an existing item in HAP. The example below deals with
duplicating an existing space, but the procedure can be used for any category of data in HAP. Simply
substitute your category name for "space" in the following description.
To duplicate an existing space:
1. Select the Space category in the tree view pane on the left side of the main window. A list of spaces
in the project will appear in the list view pane.
2. Select the desired space in the list view pane by clicking on it once.

3. Use one of the following three methods to duplicate a space:
a. Use the "Duplicate" option on the Edit Menu.
b. Press the "Duplicate" button on the Toolbar.
c. Right-click on the selected space item to display its pop-up menu. Then select the "Duplicate"
item on this menu.
4. After the space has been duplicated its data will be displayed in the space input form. Edit data as
necessary and then press OK to save the changes and return to the HAP main window.
A.6 COPYING ITEMS
Please see section A.5, Duplicating an Existing Item.
A.7 REPLACING SPACE DATA
During the course of a design project, specifications for the building sometimes change. For example,
the wall construction characteristics change or lighting levels are adjusted. In such a situation, its useful
to be able to globally change all space data rather than modifying the spaces one at a time.
The Replace feature in HAP is used for this purpose. For example, the Replace feature can be used to
change the overhead lighting wattage for 45 spaces all in one step. This provides a vast time savings
over modifying the 45 spaces one at a time. A Replace can be performed in two ways:
" The first is using a  search and replace approach in which you define a  value to replace and a
 replace with value. For example, if  value to replace is 2.0 W/sqft of overhead lighting, and
 replace with is 1.8 W/sqft, the program will search for all occurrences of 2.0 W/sqft of overhead
lighting in the spaces you choose, and will replace these with 1.8 W/sqft.
" The second is using a  replace all approach in which you only specify a  replace with value; the
 value to replace specification is left blank in this case. For example, if the  value to replace is
blank and the  replace with value is 1.8 W/sqft of overhead lighting, the program will replace all
overhead lighting inputs in the spaces you designate with 1.8 W/sqft, regardless of what the original
overhead lighting values are. [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
