Energy calculation and results

GettingStarted_a094dc9a.png Go to the Simulation tab

GettingStarted_6d3a9715.png Open list for output objects selection

GettingStarted_4628e94.png Add Log sources to the requested outputs

GettingStarted_40e48000.png Finalize output objects selection

Note:ย For large models, logging the sources of reports may occupy significant disk space.

๐Ÿ‘‰ GettingStarted_6d3a9715.png Define percentage of internal loads that should be active for the energy calculation.

Note: Full loads are normally not relevant for a reasonable energy computation.

๐Ÿ‘‰ GettingStarted_4628e94.png Select another climate data from database

Note: Use of synthetic weather data for energy calculation is not possible. Energy calculation always requires annual climate data.

GettingStarted_40e48000.png Run an annual energy calculation. For the Standard edition, the delivered energy report is automatically displayed after the simulation. For the Expert edition, the Summary tab is displayed first. If you run the Expert edition, revert back to the Simulation tab and open the relevant Report link.

Note: The structure of the delivered energy report matches defined energy meters. Energy meters can be defined and named by the user. Each energy consuming object such as a piece of office equipment is then tied to an energy meter. In the energy meters, factors for cost, CO2 emission and primary energy can be defined. Results for these will then be additionally presented in the delivered energy report (not shown in this example).

Note: The delivered energy report is in html format and therefore can easily be exported as a table e.g. to Excel by means of the clipboard.
