As of the 2020.b version, the program performs checks related to the number of Points of use in the spaces of buildings. To do so, a set of tools, called “Rooms”, has been created. Three steps have been established to achieve this task:
- Define the minimum number of points of use per room
- Manual or automatic assignment of the rooms
- Check reports
Define the minimum number of points of use per room
In the "General settings" button of the toolbar, (Project section), a new tool to define the "Number of points of use per room" is included. The points of use or minimum mechanisms required can be established for each room. These minimum values can be defined by three criteria: by surface, by length or for the room as a whole.
Rooms can be defined automatically by selecting the corresponding code. If “Spain” is selected, the rooms defined in the ITC-BT-25 of the REBT can be uploaded.
Manual or automatic assignment of the rooms
The assignment of the spaces that are imported from the architectural model can be carried out in two ways:
- Manually
Users select each space of the building to assign the corresponding room. To do so, they must press the “Assign space” button. - Automatically
The “Automatic room assignment” button must be used. In this case, the program analyses the spaces and assigns the room if possible.
Check reports
Using the “Consult checks" button and having selected a room, the program displays a check report containing the points of use defined for that stay and the compliance of their criteria. Users can obtain a complete check report for other rooms from the same dialogue box.
