Optimisation - Additional Outputs

Accessed from Parametric, Optimisation and UA/SA Analysis Settings dialog

 

 

Extra outputs can be used in later analysis to quantify how various aspects of building performance are affected by the parametric changes to the model.

Name

Your name for the output for your reference, e.g. "Total Lighting".

Output KPI

Select a predefined or custom Summary Output Key Performance Indicator (KPI) from the browse list.

Units

The units of predefined KPIs are defined internally by the selected KPI itself. For custom KPIs the units are defined by the script that you write and in those cases it is usual to include the units within the name of the KPI. For example in the Custom Script KPI Tutorial the custom KPI created is given the name "EUI (kWh/m2)".
