Set the thermal gains due to office equipment per unit floor area. The fuel is assumed to be electricity, all gains are assumed to be emitted to the space.
This field is a decimal number between 0.0 and 1.0 and is used to characterise the amount of long-wave radiant heat being given off by office equipment in a zone. The radiant fraction will be multiplied by the total energy consumed by electric equipment to give the amount of long wavelength radiation gain from office equipment in a zone.
A value of zero means that the heat gain is entirely convective in which case all the heat is transferred to the air node in simulations. A value of 1 means that the gain is entirely radiative in which case all the heat is distributed to the inside surfaces. a typical value is somewhere between 0.1 and 0.4.
If the Internal gains operate with occupancy model option is not selected you can also set the operation schedule.
