Heat Balance Breakdown
This tool will process heat gains and losses from Apace simulation file to analyse and visualise peak heating and cooling demand within the building.
Heat Balance Breakdown
The tool performs a detailed heat balance analysis for a building by evaluating various heat gains and losses at the room level during the hottest and coldest hours of the year. This analysis supports in investigating the thermal performance of the building and for designing efficient HVAC systems.
It breaks the gains and losses into external wall, ground floor, roof, windows, rooflights, doors, solar and internal gains in separate graphs for hottest and coldest hours. Heat balance calculations are then carried out to estimate peak heating and/or cooling demand of the building.
Note that this script only works for models that use Apache Systems. Apache HVAC is not yet supported.
