Output Options - Heating Design

Heating Design tab on Model Options dialog, General tab on Heating Design Calculation Options dialog and Miscellaneous model data tab

Cooling design output options apply to the whole building and are only visible at building level when accessed from the Outputs model data tab.

Include unoccupied zones in block and building totals and averages

By default data for unoccupied zones is excluded from block and building totals and averages. Check this option to include data for unoccupied zones.

A zone is defined as unoccupied if it has:

• No occupancy and,
• No cooling and,
• No heating and,
• No mechanical ventilation

Note: if you uncheck this option and all zones in the model are unoccupied then you will get a 'Zero floor area error' message

Store surface output

Causes the following output to be stored for all walls, floors, roofs, ceilings, partitions etc:

• Inside Surface Temperature
• Outside Surface Temperature
• Glazing Heat Loss
• Internal Convective Heat Transfer Coefficient
• External Convective Heat Transfer Coefficient

Store opening output

Only visible when the Store surface output option is selected, this option causes the following data to be stored for windows vents, doors, holes, sub-surfaces:

• Inside Surface Temperature
• Outside Surface Temperature
• Glazing Heat Loss
• Internal Convective Heat Transfer Coefficient
• External Convective Heat Transfer Coefficient

Warning: Use the surface and opening output options with caution on large models as, when selected, they will cause large amounts of data to be stored.
