by Brianna Crandall — January 27, 2014—QA Graphics, a leading provider of design services for the building automation industry, has added more than 30 3D HVAC Images to the company’s 3D Equipment Library. The library offers a variety of high-end three-dimensional (3D) graphics that can be used to develop system graphics that more accurately represent the mechanical equipment in place at a facility, enabling more effective facilities maintenance and management to increase energy efficiency and reduce costs.
The 3D Equipment Library provides realistic representations of equipment from product lines including York, Carrier, Trane, McQuay, Liebert, Ingersoll, Baltimore Aircoil Company, Buderus, Cleaver Brooks, Murray and AAON. The more than 30 graphic additions include chillers, air handling units, boilers, electrical pieces, generators, roof top units, a pump and sensors.
The collection of graphics now includes over 70 3D images of heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) equipment. Users can maintain their existing building automation systems (BAS) software and use the 3D images to create system graphics that realistically represent the equipment in place.
The 3D HVAC stock images include detailed cutaways of mechanical equipment with more animations and details than typically provided with BAS software, says the company. QA Graphics says its mechanical engineers have thoroughly researched the equipment to ensure accurate representation.
Individual graphics are available for purchase, with major equipment graphics available for $350 and minor equipment images available for $200. Images are custom watermarked and provided for unlimited use.
QA Graphics says it can develop custom 3D images at request or modify existing graphics to provide other viewpoints or equipment animations, as well.
QA Graphics also provides system graphic development, experienced with most building automation systems (BAS) including Alerton, American Auto Matrix, Andover Continuum, Automated Logic, Computrols, Delta, Distech Controls, Honeywell, Johnson Controls, Inc., KMC Controls, Novar Controls, Reliable Controls, Schneider Electric Struxure, Siemens Building Technologies, Teletrol, Trane, and Tridium AX and R2.
QA Graphics provides HVAC graphic development services, system graphics, floor plan graphics, and energy dashboards to help organizations educate occupants about building performance and sustainability.
