Calculation target

Specifies whether the target temperature specified in the Temperature profile dialog is to refer to the measured air temperature or the operative temperature. The operative temperature is calculated as the mean temperature of the air and surface temperature. The weighting of the two temperatures is done through the weighting factor.

Air temperature.

Enabled: Target temperatures from the temperature profiles refer to the air temperature.

Operative temperature

Enabled: Target temperatures from the temperature profiles refer to the operative temperature. The Air temperature weight factor (%) is also required to determine the operative temperature. You can enter the weight factor directly as a percentage or select it from a list of predefined weight factors by clicking . The weight factor depends on the air velocity.

Cooling/heating load limitation

Limitation of the cooling capacity of the system/Limitation the heating capacity of the system

Enabled: Limits the power of the system per room. This default is adopted for all rooms and can be adjusted in the individual rooms.

Absolute

Clicking opens the Power profiles dialog, where you can select and customize the desired power profile set. In the profile, you can limit the power per room to a fixed value or set it over 24 hours in the expanded profile.

Specific

Clicking opens the Power profiles dialog, where you can select and customize the desired power profile set. In the profile, you can limit the power in the room per square meter to a fixed value or set it over 24 hours in the expanded profile.

Distribution of the cooling systems

Convective component of the residual cooling system

If you do not expect to cover a portion of your project's cooling load with an air handling unit, you can specify the convective (and thus indirectly the radiant) portion of the residual cooling system on a percentage basis. This means that the real influence of cooling convectors can be better taken into account, for example.

Clicking opens the Proportion profiles dialog, where you can select and customize the desired power profile set.

Distribution of the heating systems

Convective component of the residual heating system

If you do not expect to cover a portion of your project’s heating load with an air handling unit, you can specify the convective (and thus indirectly the radiant) portion of the residual heating system on a percentage basis. This means that the real influence of heating convectors can be better taken into account, for example.

Clicking on opens the Proportion profiles dialog, where you can customize and select the desired proportion profile set.
