Energy Code Templates

Energy code data is used within DesignBuilder to indicate the mandatory energy performance of building components and/or the whole building.

There are three types of heat transmission code:

   1. Envelope component performance

   2. Whole building envelope performance

   3. Whole building energy performance

You can define the type of energy code by making selections on the next 3 tabs.

If this energy code requires for example that minimum component perforance and whole building energy performance then check both these options.

Template data can be accessed:

• from the Templates tab on the opening screen (if no file is open),
• from the Templates tab in the Navigator panel (if a file is open),
• by double-clicking on the template icon in the model data,
• by clicking on the Edit button when selecting templates from a list.
