## 2.6. Tabular description of building

The building structure can be described also in tabular manner by completing the fields and tables with data concerning storeys, flats and compartments.

For that purpose after defining of partitions just go to the third position of project data „Building structure”. To define the building structure, that means the storey, flats and compartments, click the icon to input the storey, then icon to input the flat.

To input the compartment, just click the icon , and to insert the partitions in these compartments, click the icon and then icon if there are any windows and doors in this partition.

Storeys, flats and compartments can be also inserted by means of function keys, for example F7 for inserting of storey, Ins inserts the storey in selected area, Ctr+F7 inserts a flat. More possibilities of inserting the building structure by means of function keys can be called by right mouse button or by button „Open menu” .

The program will automatically establish in every storey a conventional area, specified as „Default”, designated with icon . This is a flat, to which the User can insert compartments separated from house area, for example corridor, vestibule, etc. Here are also inserted compartments after loading of file from Instal-therm program. In a flat “Default” calculations of ventilation air balance and heat losses are performed as well as all commands characteristic for a flat.

When we want to insert in the building a staircase, we can in “default” flat on every storey set up a compartment, which becomes a staircase. To obtain a staircase as one compartment passing through several storeys, also being an balance and special continuity, the flats should be merged into multi-storeys flat and then within this flat merge compartments creating staircase.

In this way it is possible to insert it both in tabular structure and in graphical structure. More information to this contains chapter 4.5.2.2.

During inserting the building structure, program will automatically display it as a tree in lower left window. Clicking the icon you can open the structure tree to any required level.

The building structure tree can be opened very easily with help of icons located in lower part of window. In succession: icon opens the tree to the storey level, icon to the flats level, icon to the compartments level, icon opens the tree to the level of partitions, and the icon to the level of windows and doors. In this way the building can be presented on any required structure level.
