The HVAC physical design information use case entails the information needed to describe one or more heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) spatial designs. The spatial design corresponds to the final, physical design, which describes the layout of the HVAC system and components in the ship and provides enough detail so that the system can be manufactured or acquired.

This information is developed during the following process stage:

Finalize HVAC layout and spatial design

This information supports the following activities:

Shop fabrication; outfitting/installation
Material ordering

This information is used in the following interchanges:

Design engineer and system engineer
Design engineer and fabricator
Integration of designs from different design engineers
Shipyard and customer (design deliverable)

This information contains the following kind of entities and associations:

Characterization of physical HVAC components

Including Ducting, the types of HVAC fittings used in ship construction.
Sufficient detail to support acquisition or manufacture of the components.

Identification of catalog information associated with each component
Connections (joints) and connectors (ports) for HVAC components

This information contains the following geometric representation:

The shapes of HVAC components and ducting are specified parametrically based on a small number of values per each type of component.
