Temperature Frequency report

The Temperature Frequency report illustrates the frequency pattern of the temperature values for each room included in the simulation calculations.


SettingDescription
Options Sets the room temperature limit.


Schedule Displays the scheduled Thermal Frequency Simulation to the desired set period. Displays the location of the room, start date, and end date for thermal frequency simulation. You can save this report in different file formats available under the save drop-down menu.


Temperature Frequency Lists the distribution of temperature values above the percent and above the hours for each room.
TM 52 Displays the temperature frequency simulation result. It shows the CIBSE TM52 energy efficiency with respect to the number of occupants for the set period.


Graph Contains controls used to view a graphical report of the simulation temperatures result. Select a room from the list to update the graph.


The temperature frequency graph for selected room can be displayed. The pattern of the temperature exceeding the above is shown as a colored curve.
  • Temperature - The temperature 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.
  • Temp frequency exceeded - The percentage values of the design temperature exceeded are displayed on the graph's horizontal (X) axis.
  • Curve - Temperature distribution patten 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.
