Passive2:HVAC
General
In this section you can insert all your HVAC devices into the program. You can also set what your device is used for and if multiple devices are used for the same task, the energy/work distribution between the devices can also be entered. The list of possible devices is the same as in the HVAC database.
Fore more information about the needed input for the respective device, see this page
Distribution
In the Distribution tab it is defined how the generated Heat, DHW and Ventilation is distributed. The heat losses due to pipes and ducts are taken into consideration for the final calculation
Hydronic heating
These are optional inputs, if the Hydronic Heat distribution is accomplished by pipes. For the estimation of the heat loss the pipe length, geometry, its construction and the temperature difference between inside fluid and outside is required. The heat loss coefficient has to be calculated separately.
DHW
The DHW distribution is very similar to the Hydronic Heating distribution.
Ventilation
Unlike other components it is not necessary to create an assembly for the pipes because only the data of the
