PartL ROI: Results Tab

Contains the resulted reports derived from PartL ROI calculations. The program checks criteria for PartL2A compliance.

SettingDescription
Republic of Ireland: Building Regulations Part L A Building rating document is automatically produced and this document is displayed. The document provides access to various key calculation results including the following:
  • The energy used per square meter (kWh/m2) by the actual and reference buildings for heating, cooling, auxiliary energy uses (pumps and fans), lighting and domestic hot water if available, the energy is generated by a CHP in the Actual building.
  • The resulting CO2 emissions (kgCO2/m2) from the actual and reference buildings.
Compliance
  • The Actual building's primary energy rate is the annual primary energy consumption per unit floor area for the Actual building, in kWh/m2.
  • The Actual building's Energy Performance Coefficient (EPC) is the annual primary energy consumption per unit floor area for the Actual building divided by that of the Reference building.
  • The Actual building's emission rate is the annual CO2 emissions per unit floor area for the Actual building, in kgCO2/m2.
  • The Actual building's Carbon Performance Coefficient (CPC) is the annual CO2 emissions per unit floor area for the Actual building divided by that of the Reference building.
  • The Actual building's Renewal Energy Ratio (RER) is the ratio of the Actual building's primary energy from renewable energy sources to the Actual building's total primary energy consumption.
