Percentage of internal gains

  • Define percentage of internal gains that should be active for the energy calculation (by default 60%). These factors are applied to account for the fact that buildings only rarely are used to their design capacity. Exceptions can be given to zones or groups of zones, for which different gain factors can be set.   
  • Smoothing of schedule can be adapted here. Per default the value of the System parameters is linked here.
    (5 = +/-1h; 0 = no smoothing - this function is valid for schedules of internal gains)

Climate file

        Allows you to run the simulation with a different climate file.

Run

        Click “Run” to start the simulation
