Lighting consumption

Post by V Cardona »

I ran my simulation and do not get any consumption for lighting, though I've specified it. Is there some sort of link I am missing?

Thank you,

Hi,

Have you set up a Lighting gain on your room data/thermal template internal gains tab? Check that this has a gain value and is set to a variation profile that comes on during the simulation period. You should then see this in the Vista building level (e.g. Total lights energy) or room level (lighting gains) results after the sim.

To see the lighting gains individually in Vista select "...internal gains breakdown" on the Simulation settings >> Output options.
