Graph The heat gains graphs for single rooms or the total project can be displayed. The total heat gain and individual component gains: fabric, glazing, infiltration, internal and fresh air are shown as different colored curves.
  • Heat gain — Heat gain values are displayed on the graph’s vertical (Y) axis. The scale is automatically adjusted when viewing smaller or larger values making it easier to distinguish the separate graph curves.
  • Time — The 24 hours of the design day are displayed on the graph’s horizontal (X) axis.
  • Curves — Load components that make up the heat gains for the selected room or project are displayed with color coded curves. The color codes are described in the graph legend. The curves and legend are interactive, providing you with pop up help windows.
