Dwellings to be modelled within the one Hero Project & save file. |
Dwellings have separate Chenath simulations performed upon them, and are issued individual NatHERS Certificates with the project Project having a NatHERS Summary Certificate issued that agglomerates individual Dwelling NatHERS Star-ratings (see further details below).
Hero also creates a special dwelling Dwelling called a Common Area Dwelling for Class 2 multi-dwelling projects to contain that contains Common Area Zones such as Carparks & Corridors (see below).

DWELLINGS WITHIN THE VISUAL-VIEW
Dwellings can be created, deleted & selected as the Current Selected Dwelling within the Visual-View Top Toolbar. The Current Selected Dwelling in the Visual-View Top Toolbar’s Dwelling list will become the parent Dwelling of any new Zones created within the Visual View.

DWELLINGS WITHIN THE DATA-GRID
For a Single Dwelling Project, most Dwelling information is integrated into the Project aspects of the Project Data-Grid and the Dwelling Data-Grid tab becomes hidden.
When a Project becomes a Multi-Dwelling project, the Dwellings tab becomes visible in the Data-Grid and further details on the Dwellings can be entered here.

DWELLING PROPERTIES
PROPERTY | DESCRIPTION | EDITED WITHIN | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
Name | The Name of the Dwelling | Dwelling Data-Grid | ||
Unit Number Address | The Unit Number or sub-address of the Dwelling that will be prepended to the Project’s Address for NatHERS Certificates. E.g. A Dwelling with Unit Number “Unit 24” and Project Address “100 Main St” will have a final address on the NatHERS Certificate of “Unit 24, 100 Main St” | Dwelling Data-Grid | ||
Lot / Deposited Plan (DP) Number | Lot or Deposited Plan Number for the Project as per the existing or future Title. Used so that NatHERS Assessments can be tied to specific addresses regardless of future changes to addresses etc, and will potentially make it easier for future search & retrieval of NatHERS Assessment information by future owners or occupants.
| Project Data-Grid (Dwelling Data-Grid for Multi-Dwelling Projects) | ||
Site Exposure | An attribute that describes the site context of each Individual Dwelling & that effects simulated wind-speeds within the Simulation. These are defined & guidance given to their selection within the NatHERS Technical Notes Options include:
| Dwelling Data-Grid (Project Data-Grid for Single Dwelling Projects) | ||
Certificate Notes | An area available for the User to Document any additional information to be added to the NatHERS Certificate as per NatHERS & AAO Requirements for the Specific Dwelling. Typical uses of this section is to document any assumptions made for the project, any substitutions or deviations away from standard NatHERS Technical Note guidance.
