Dears,
I want to apologize for the naive question. When I edit the templates from AP pro (edit profile) is it possible to edit only the heating system working schedule or is it possible to edit the people amount and their behaviour?

-if yes how can I edit room by room how many people in that room are, and the people number variation during the day or during the week?
- if not where is it possible to do it?
-further, where is possible to add how many appliances in a given room are?
-at last, is it possible by using AP pro, to adjust the amount of radiators in a given room?

I wish you a nice day

it possible to edit only the heating system working schedule

yes when you go to your profiles tick the filter box and type in heat this will show you the profiles set for heating you can either edit these and create your own.

assign these in either room query (room conditions tab) or tabular room type.

is it possible to edit the people amount and their behaviour?

as above but filter for occ

assign these on the internal gain tab, you can do an absolute profile where you say there are 30 people at this time then say 10 at lunch.

alternatively a modulating profile will express the percentage of max occupancy according to your profile

-further, where is possible to add how many appliances in a given room are?

what is this for?

if this for internal gains for overheating or energy consumption you should either work out the power consumption and enter this in the internal gains tab under miscellaneous or put a typical w/m2 for the room type. there are the NCM templates for standard room types, although they aren't the best.

at last, is it possible by using AP pro, to adjust the amount of radiators in a given room?

This sounds like a backwards way of doing this.

IES will give you a heat loss for the room, based on weather/insulation/room heating set point etc. then you would select the radiators based on this.

If you want to see if already installed radiators are adequate, compare the heat loss to the output from the currently installed radiators. To do this you will need to know your boiler flow and return temperature and you can there compare outputs based on the size of your radiators to a manufacturer's data (e.g. myson)
