Room Temperatures
When creating a room manually, the room temperatures for the heating and cooling case were taken from the selected room template. Temperatures can be adjusted manually if required.
Clear Internal Dimensions
The clear internal dimensions of the corresponding room. These dimensions are used to calculate the room volume to determine the heat loss of ventilation in the heat and cooling load.
Length, Width Enter the clear internal dimensions of the room in meters. Click 
to open the Room Dimensioning dialog where you can specify wall thicknesses.
Area: The clear building area is automatically calculated from length and width. The value can be overwritten. Click enters the calculated value again.
| Display | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Normal | The displayed value corresponds to the standard value or the calculated value and, if applicable, does not deviate from the value in the CAD program or the Excel Room Data Sheet. |
| Bold | The displayed value was either entered manually by the user or comes from the CAD program or Excel Room Data Sheet and differs from the calculated value. |
| Bold Italic | The displayed value differs from the value in the CAD program or Excel Room Data Sheet and from the calculated value, and was entered manually. The value is exported to the CAD program or Excel Room Data Sheet during the next synchronization, depending on the synchronization settings for the corresponding parameter. |
The information in the table above relates to the following parameters:
-
Net Room Area (LIN_BA_NET_AREA)
-
Gross Area Room (LIN_BA_ROOM_AREA_GROSS)
-
Net Room Volume (LIN_BA_ROOM_VOLUME)
-
Gross Room Volume (LIN_BA_ROOM_VOLUME_GROSS)
Ceiling Thickness, Clear Height: These values are taken from the general specifications of the storey level. You can overwrite the Ceiling Thickness with your own value, e.g. to realize a suspended ceiling. As soon as you modify the ceiling thickness in the general specifications at storey level, the user-defined value is also overwritten with the one from the storey level. The building detection treats a possibly existing floor construction as belonging to the ceiling and adds it accordingly: With 300 mm ceiling thickness and 100 mm floor construction, the detection enters 400 mm ceiling thickness. Suspended ceilings are not taken into account in the clear height, since air volumes behind them are relevant in the calculations.
Volume: The volume is determined automatically from the values entered. The value can be overwritten. Click enters the calculated value again.
Parapet Height: Window parapet height for the windows in this room. The value is used in radiator design to determine the height of radiators.
Approximate Capacity per qm
Clicking opens the Approximate Heat Load, in which you can select a specific approximate capacity depending on the building type. You can also enter a customized value.
