Introducing the Next-Generation Ventilation Design Tool

At its core, CLASS 2.0 is a product selection tool, but its capabilities allow for much more than that. Users start by entering their project information, including classroom supply air volume, outside air volume, unit design, heating type, cooling type, electrical voltage, energy recovery, outside air properties, classroom design temperature targets, filter strength, and much more. The engineer can then compare and select from matching units, configuring the parameters as needed to find the perfect match for each classroom within a single project.

Not only does the new CLASS 2.0 ventilation design tool provide more in-depth analysis and capabilities compared to the previous software version, but it also has a smarter, more user-friendly dashboard. Projects are easier to find, sort, and load, and users can drill down deeper into the product catalog for greater detail. Engineers can essentially map out the school building in list form, making it more efficient and more intuitive to plan for each space.

CLASS 2.0 offers smarter calculations than the earlier version, with live and more detailed data.

The tool also now pulls ASHRAE weather data that allows the engineer to factor in the local region’s worst-case climate scenarios and air properties. Along with product pricing and documentation, end users have access to instant Revit files for on-screen interaction; DXF and Revit files can be downloaded, as well.

Finally, CLASS 2.0 is designed to be futureproof, making it easier for Systemair engineers to add and change features to enhance and expand useability going forward.
