About General Heat Load Data

Explains the concept of general heat load data in the context of heat load calculations.

In the General heat load data section you enter basic settings for calculating the heat load of your building. All settings made here are valid for your entire project. Some settings, such as the ventilation system, can be modified in the respective structural level (building unit, ventilation zone, room) deviating from the values set here.

You start with the location and climate settings. If the supplied location and climate data does not meet the requirements of your project or if there is no data for the project location, you can edit the supplied data or create your own dataset with location and climate data, e.g. for a country or a region. If you have detected the building from a CAD, in the next step you check the building data and correct them if necessary. Finally, global correction factors for the heat load calculation can be defined in this view. Some of the parameters, such as the correction factors, can be adjusted individually at room level.
