Primary energy output
Posted: Tue Mar 15, 2016 4:25 pm
Hi all,
I am just wondering if it would be possible in future updates of <VE> to include Primary energy calculation with the possibility to enter country specific values of primary energy conversion factors? I believe it could be in some way similar to that of CO2 calculations, when you enter CO2 factors for fuels, and I am sure that at the moment it is incorporated in one way or another for energy performance certificates under building regulation compliance.
In practice I need primary energy consumption output for the BREEAM International New Construction energy efficiency credits, also those figures could be utilized for LEED pilot credit on alternative energy performance metrics.
