CIBSE Heat Loss (Simple)
Used to display results from the CIBSE heat loss calculation conducted using the Simple Model steady state heat loss model. The Simple Model assumes that the heat transfer coefficients can be lumped together and assumes rooms are cubic when considering radiative heat exchange. The mean radiant temperature is assumed to be the average of the internal surface temperatures. Other approximations are made to heat transfer processes, which enable all heat flows to be considered as being to the air point or the environmental point. The heat transfer relationship between these two points is then established for the room, enabling heat losses to be computed.

Results are reported on the CIBSE Heat Loss (Simple) dialog box tabs. Losses from individual room surfaces can be viewed in the Full report tab. Total project losses can be viewed in the Summary report tab. Results can also be viewed graphically on the Graph tab. Formulae can be viewed by clicking results.
