Put out name of usage unit within tapping point label

Activated: The name of the usage unit is included when labeling the tapping point.

Quantity of user

The quantity of users is preset with 2. It can be changed in agreement with the building owner.

Note:

When there are significantly more than two consumers defined for one usage unit (for example a gang shower installation with ten showers being in use simultaneously), you should consider the following: When two usage units flow together from one pipe run, the two flow rates will be added up, next, the total will be compared to the building curve, and the smaller one out of both will be used for the calculation. In such a case, you should assign the simultaneity curve for special buildings to the partial network of this usage unit (this can be done via the peak flow rate button in the calculation dialog); or you should enter the calculation flow rate of the consumers as continuous flow rate (in the respective technical data dialog of the consumer).
