 +
 +[[https://graphivac.hvac.io/#/o/public/p/P-cBZ5F9AJC3/g/G-NC4K3VbOZ8|Graphivac]] is a software to make and visualize HVAC drawings.
 +
 +A free version can be downloaded from [[https://hvac.io/products/graphivac|HVAC.IO]].
 +
 +{{:suppliers:hvac.io:graphivac.png?400|}}

 +**First time in Graphivac? You probably want to check the [[suppliers:hvac.io:graphivac:modes:editor|Editor]] instructions**
 +
 +
 +===== Controls =====
 +These are universal controls and should work in all modes.
 +
 +  * Pan : <key>ctrl+alt+click</key> or <key>w</key> <key>a</key> <key>s</key> <key>d</key> or <key>↑</key> <key>←</key> <key>→</key> <key>↓</key> or Mouse wheel click
 +  * Zoom : Mouse wheel
 +  * Fullscreen : <key>F11</key>
 +  * Snapshot : <key>ctrl+p</key>
 +  * Show all : <key>ctrl+alt+w</key>
 +
 +===== Modes =====
 +
 +{{ :suppliers:hvac.io:graphivac:graphivac-principle.png?250| Historical / Live Mode principle}}
 +
 +Graphivac is designed to be able to support new modes as time goes by.
 +Every mode can render objects differently and show different information, while using the same basic drawing.
 +
 +By default, Graphivac comes with 3 built-in modes:
 +
 +  * [[.graphivac:modes:editor|Editor]]
 +  * [[suppliers:hvac.io:graphivac:modes:live|Live]] (uses [[.wacnet|Wacnet]] to show live BACnet data)
 +  * [[suppliers:hvac.io:graphivac:modes:historical|Historical]] (uses [[.vigilia|Vigilia]] to show historical data)
 +
 +It's important to note that Graphivac is not limited to those 2 software; alternative live/historical APIs can be added with new modes.
 +
 +
 +As of March 2017, the first sponsored mode is also included:
 +  * [[suppliers:hvac.io:graphivac:modes:saeb|SAEB]]
 +
 +SAEB features tools to group and categorize the various objects and help an external optimization software.
 +
 +===== Components =====
 +The grids can be populated by components, each with their own characteristics.
 +
 +==== Objects (Symbols) ====
 +Objects are 1x1 components used to display various symbols.
 +
 +{{:suppliers:hvac.io:graphivac:favicon.png?50|}}
 +
 +While Graphivac comes with a few built-in symbols, the user is free to overwrite them and add new ones.
 +
 +==== Conduits (Ducts/Pipes) ====
 +
 +Conduits are arbitrary long, but always 1 unit in width.
 +When a conduit ends on another conduit of the same type, it connects with it.
 +This behavior can be seen below:
 +
 +{{:suppliers:hvac.io:graphivac:conduits-connect.png?200|}}
 +
 +==== Templates ====
 +
 +Templates are used when a representation should be used multiple times.
 +The typical use of this component is to show rooms.
 +
 +You draw a typical room and then specify how many times it should be repeated, along with names and possibly BACnet links.
 +
 +{{:suppliers:hvac.io:graphivac:templates.png?400|}}
 +
 +==== Enclosures ====
 +
 +Enclosures are used to represent a single closed space, such as a room or a pool.
 +
 +{{:suppliers:hvac.io:graphivac:graphivac-enclosure.png?250|}}
 +
 +===== Relations =====
 +Under the hood, a powerful relation algorithm is building relations between all the components present on a grid.
 +
 +{{:suppliers:hvac.io:graphivac:demo-relation-grid.png?400|}}{{:suppliers:hvac.io:graphivac:demo-relations.png?120|}}
 +
 +(This feature is used by the [[suppliers:hvac.io:graphivac:modes:saeb|SAEB mode]] to enable a much more precise analysis.)
 +
 +
 +===== Requirements =====
 +Client : A modern web browser
 +
 +Server : Java 8
 +
 +===== Installation =====
 +To see how to run your own Graphivac server, see [[.graphivac:installation]].
