Details on Usage Profiles

Information on the Usage Profiles dialog in the dynamic cooling load calculation.

Usage Profile Sets

Usage profiles define the percentage of internal loads in hourly cycles over a 24-hour period and are grouped into usage profile sets.

You can manage usage profiles at any level (project, building part, storey, apartment or room). However, the assignment of usage profiles to internal loads is only done on the project level via the Assignment of Internal Loads button, and on room level via the selection of the corresponding internal load.
