Overheating calculation
Variable The "peak" variable used to choose the worst month
Internal gains The percentage of internal gains determines the percentage of all internal gains as defined in the rooms that should be applied (normally 100 %).
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)
Weather
Use synthetic weather With synthetic weather, simulations for a hot day of all months are carried out by default, but results are kept only for months where some room has a peak for the selected variable.
If Selected months is selected, and then some specific months are filled in, simulations will only be performed for the selected months. Simulation results (to be viewed under Details) will be saved for all simulated months, not only for the months that show a peak.
Design period using climate file is used to size cooling wrt. a selected hot period from a climate file. This option may not be fully supported by the standard reports of all providers.
