Calculate Energy Demand

Purpose / Function

Simulate the Building energy demands related to the different End-uses (space heating, space cooling, domestic hot water demand, lighting, cooking, electrical appliances).

Pre-requisite for domestic hot water, cooking and electrical appliances calculation: Usage Preprocessor

Pre-requisite for space heating and space cooling: Usage Preprocessor and Physics Preprocessor
