The Energy Simulator Project Tree

The Project Tree displays the hierarchical relationships of the project building construction elements. The highest level in this hierarchy is the Project. Below that is the Site. Then the Building or Buildings, followed by Floors, and Rooms. Rooms are reduced further to their surfaces and internal room and surface components.



Tree Objects Are Linked to Graphics

Project Tree objects are linked to their graphical counterparts. Selecting a graphical element, such as a room surface also selects it on the tree diagram. Each tree object has a pop-up menu when a right click it issued.



Access To Object Properties

From the pop-up menu, you can select Properties which opens a properties dialog containing data relevant to that specific tree object including data considered for thermal calculations and energy simulation.
