Details on Dynamic Cooling Load

General Project Data

At the project level, you configure settings for the entire project, for example for calculation methods, location and climate data or shading. You can also create usage and temperature profiles and assign internal loads. If necessary, you can configure different settings at room level. Selecting Result, Cooling Load Dimensioning and Result, Annual Simulation displays the calculation results for the entire project.

You are here:

Module Overview ➤ Dynamic Cooling Load ➤ Project Level

Settings (…)

Opens the Settings dialog, where you can configure basic settings for the calculation of the cooling load. The text in brackets indicates the calculation method set.

Location/climate data

Opens the Location and Climate Data dialog, where you can define location and climate data and configure settings for the year simulation.

Temperature profiles

Opens the Temperature Profiles dialog, where you can create and parameterize temperature profile sets. In the temperature profiles, the target temperatures are defined, which will later be assigned to the rooms.

Usage profile sets

Opens the User Profiles dialog, where you can create and parameterize user profile sets. The usage profiles describe the percentage of a load during the day. The usage profiles are later assigned to internal loads.

Assignment of internal loads

Opens the Multi-Room Load Assignment dialog, where you can manage internal loads, combine individual loads into group loads, and assign group loads to room groups.

Window configurations

Opens the Window Data dialog, where you create and parameterize configurations of windows that you can assign to the windows used in the project. The configuration defines, among other things, g-values and the shading of the windows.

Result, Cooling load dimensioning

Opens the Results, Cooling Load dimensioning dialog, where you can display the cooling load and solar radiation graphically and in tabular form for the entire building.

Calculation annual simulation

Opens the Year Simulation Calculation dialog. After selecting the rooms to be considered for the calculation, you can initiate the calculation of the annual simulation here.

Result annual simulation

Opens the Result Annual Simulation, Building dialog, where the cooling load, temperatures and solar radiation to be expected from the calculation of the annual simulation are displayed graphically or in tabular form for the entire building.
