Summed total 123.1545 47.5058 215.2448 208.2254 248.9037

Sorry heres an update i was looking at the wrong results.

Heating = 123
Cooling = 47
Aux = 215
lighting = 208
DHW = 248

there quite different from what i quoted above

Like your saying dhw is quite high. seems kinda crazy that its twice the heating demand of the building

Ok, no problem. The cooling is still a small player as I suspected.

Looking at those numbers, it's not worth troubling yourself over the cooling. If I were you, instead of adding shading, I'd be focusing on lighting and fan powers and maybe trying to shave a little off the space heating side. The DHW is normally quite tricky to influence much but you never know your luck.

Excellent, very very informative

Thanks again for your help, its extremely useful!!!!!
