Setting Building Unit Data

Shows step-by-step how to set fundamental building unit data.

Before you begin

You would like to set fundamental settings for a building unit.

Navigate to:

Module overview ➤ Heat load ➤ Building unit level ➤ Heat load ➤ General building unit data

Procedure

If this building unit is occasionally not heated for a longer period of time, activate the option Used sporadically (e.g. holiday flat).
If this building unit uses a heat transfer system that differs from the global selection, specify the Heat transfer system for rooms higher than 4 m here.

Results

The basic building unit data is set.
