Some question about Activity

Carlos · Posts: 25

Hello,

I´m simulating a school and I have some doubts.
When I put information in Activity, in ¨Computers¨, ¨Office Equipments¨ ¨Miscellaneous¨, ¨Caterings¨ etc, the limit of gains (W/m2) isn`t enough to the gain I need to put.
For example, if I want to load ¨Kitchen¨`s gain, the cooker produces 775 W/m2 and the limit is in all cases 60 W/m2. There are several cases with the same problem in the same building.
In this case, How could I do to solve it ?

Hi Carlos,

First of all I would confirm that your cooker is producing 775W/m^2 of floor are (i.e. for a 4m^2 room, it would need to produce 3100W). This obviously could be the case, I thought I'd mention it just in case it had slipped your mind.

Having confirmed the values, or in any case if you want to use more than the slider limit go to:

Tools>Program options

On the Interface tab, under Interface Style uncheck the box next to Use Slider Controls. You will then be able to type values into the relevant boxes that match your requirements.

As always, all the best with your modelling!

P.S. did that spreadsheet work out for you?
