The time step of the output can be: — hourly; — monthly; — yearly; according to the time step of the input. 5.2 General description of the method The energy performance is assessed by values of the increased space temperatures due to heat and cooling emission system inefficiencies. The method is based on an analysis of the following characteristics of a space heating emission system or cooling system including control: — non-uniform space temperature distribution; — emitters;...
