Location...

Opens the Locations dialog, where you can choose a location for your project.

Temperature correction (Time constant)

Activated: Depending on the selected building mass and the transmission losses of the building, a correction is applied to the outside temperature. The corrected value is displayed in the Standard outside temperature field.

Height meteorological station above sea level

The height of the meteorological station is part of the location data and is only entered if the selected location contains the corresponding data. This value takes no part in the calculation and can be understood as additional information or used to check the plausibility of the height of the building above sea level.

Height of building above sea level

The height of the building above sea level is suggested from the selected location out of the building data.

(Standard) Outside temperature

This temperature is suggested according to the selected location from the building data. If the temperature correction is activated, the possibly corrected value is displayed here.

Annual average temperature

Annual average temperature is part of the location data and cannot be changed.

Inside temperatures according to standard

Activated: Overwrites room-specific temperature entries with temperatures from the standard, depending on the selected room types. In the room view of the heat load, a tooltip appears above the input field of the room temperature with the note corresponding to the selected standard. Additionally, the option Increase of default values is enabled.

Deactivated: Room temperatures can be entered manually. If the values entered correspond to the specifications in the standard, a tooltip appears above the input field for the room temperature with the note corresponding to the selected standard. If the values entered do not comply with the standard, the note is freely agreed appears at this point.

Windy region

Activated: Your project is located in an windy area.
