FAQs
Yes, TRACE 3D Plus can be used to model LEED projects. The program has a built-in Standards Wizard that will simplify the changes that need to be made to create a baseline alternative. The Standards Wizard includes a checklist of items for wizard consideration and a checklist of items for users to check and input manually. For more information: Standards Wizard.
Local library members can be both imported and exported as a single file between devices and users. These files can contain custom schedules, themes, templates, and airflows. For more information, please see this detailed guide: Importing and Exporting Libraries to and from a TRACE TRL File.
A variety of reports are available from Room Heating and Cooling Loads to an ASHRAE 62.1 Summary along with System component summary reports that can be exported in other forms. Please reference this document that gives a breakdown of common reports in the program: Beginner’s Guide to Reports - Short subset of report information for problem solving.
TRACE 3D Plus is intended for use by professional engineers and engineering firms. It is available in English only. No French version exists on the market. This product is not marketed to the general public in Quebec.
