Optimizing the Dimensioning of a Room

Shows step-by-step how to optimize the dimensioning of a room.

Before you begin

You wish to optimize the design of a room, because the completed design is not ideal or because parameters have been changed.

In the example, the general procedure is shown using the Laying spacing optimizing (VA + SP). You can carry out the procedure equally well with the Differential temperature optimizing (SP) and Circuit number optimizing (KA + VA + SP).

Requirement:

The design of a room is not ideal.

Navigate to:

Module overview ➤ Panel heating/Panel cooling ➤ Room level

Applies to: Panel heating, Panel cooling

Panel heating room Linear Building

Procedure

Click Optimize.

The following context menu opens.
Select the desired optimization function.

Results

You have optimized the room’s dimensioning.
