Consideration PLH

Enabled: Components that adjoin adjacent rooms, some of which have limited heating, are included in the calculation.

Consider components adjoining other building units ("uw") in building heat load

Enabled: Assumption that uw-components are adjoining building units which do not belong to the balanced building. The transmission heat losses of the components are included in the standard heat load and in the dimensioning heat load. This is the default setting.

Disabled: Assumption that uw-components are adjoining building units which do belong to the balanced building. The transmission heat losses do not pass to the outside and the thermal bridge supplement is not used. The transmission heat losses are also not added to the standard heat load and the dimensioning heat load.
