Maxi Gain report

The Maxi Gain report illustrates month wise maximum gain of heat for each room included in the simulation calculations.


SettingDescription
Maxi Gain Lists the peak heat gain in a month for each room.
Graph Contains controls used to view a graphical report of the simulation peak gains result. Select a room from the list to update the graph.


The maxi heat gains graphs for selected room can be displayed. The total peak gain and individual component peak gains: sensible, latent are shown as different colored curves.
  • Energy gain - The 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.
  • Month - The 12 months of the design year 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 colo r codes are described in the graph legend. The curves and legend are interactive, providing you with pop up help windows.
