Detailed Equipment

Equipment tab in model data (zone level only)

 

This option is intended for modelling existing buildings where individual items of equipment have been recorded as part of a detailed survey and is not intended for general design simulation work.  

 

When the Gains model option is set to Detailed you can enter data on individual items of equipment in each zone.

DesignBuilder has a software utility for recording and calibrating this data available on the Prerelease and beta test versions Downloads page of the DesignBuilder website.

 

Note: For other modelling applications you should use the Early gains model option because data can be set at the building level and/or loaded from template with much less effort.
