Achieving fast and accurate loads calcs on every project is easy. Here's how:
1. Do room-by-room scans
This will help you generate room-by-room loads and allow you to more precisely tailor your assumptions.
2. After you scan the first room, take 60 seconds to adjust construction assumptions
For every project, you should review (and possibly edit) the assumptions for the most common building envelope components to make sure they match what you are seeing in the home:
Walls
Floors (or Ceilings if starting on the 2nd story)
Windows
After you edit any building component, you can set that choice to "Use as default" so that all of your subsequent scans in the home will use the same assumption. Just select a component, adjust the values, and set as the default. See the video below.
3. With defaults set, continue scanning the rest of the building
Now that you have the defaults set for the project, you can focus on scanning and be assured that accurate assumptions will be used throughout the building.
