Criterion 3 Check

Post by helena24 »

Hello,

I am running a criterion 3 compliance check but notice that some rooms in the attached model with glazing have a solar gain marked as N/A. Most of those rooms are circulation spaces.
Could you please let me know what is causing this?

Thank you for your help,
helena

Hi Helen

The reason is simply that Criterion 3 only appies to "occupied" or "mechanically cooled" spaces. Circulation zones fall outside of this definition and so do not get assessed.
