Demand report

This contains the results of the "Demand" simulation. It provides results for the building’s energy demand for heating and cooling, broken down by thermal zone. The results of the building’s energy balance and its annual energy and power demand are presented graphically.

Consumption report

This section contains the results of the "Consumption" simulation. It provides data on the building’s energy consumption for heating, cooling and domestic hot water, categorised by the type of final energy consumed.

Building envelope

Contains the results for the heat transfer coefficient by transmission, calculated in accordance with standard EN ISO 13789:2017, and for the air permeability of the thermal envelope. A breakdown by component is provided, and the thermal transmittance (U) value for each component is compared with the limit value set by the user.

Supplementary reports

This option lets you view and print the following supplementary reports:

Description of materials and building elements

The various elements present in the building are shown, together with their materials, quantities, transmission coefficients, etc. The building envelope system (external walls, floors, roofs and openings) and the compartmentalisation system (vertical partitions and floor slabs) are specified.

Linear thermal bridges

The thermal bridges identified in each zone and their characteristics are listed below.

Calculation of the reduction factor

Sets out the methodology and detailed results of the calculation of heat transfer to the unheated and uncooled spaces of the building in accordance with standard EN ISO 13789:2017. These results are used in the calculation of the heat transfer coefficient by conduction in the "Building envelope" section.

Condensation

This report is available if the option "Check for the existence of surface and interstitial condensation in accordance with ISO 13788" has been selected under "General parameters" (on the "Building" tab).

Interior comfort

The report uses graphs and tables to show how the indoor temperature in each zone has changed over time, comparing it with the outdoor temperature. It records the number of hours during which the defined indoor comfort temperature is exceeded in each zone and the number of hours spent outside the setpoint.

The results for the indoor air temperature in each zone and the outdoor air temperature, for every hour of the year, are exported to a .csv file located in the "_dat" directory associated with the program file. The numerical values in this file correspond to those shown graphically in the "Indoor comfort" report.

The default path for this file is C:\CYPE Ingenieros\Projects\CYPETHERM\project_name.trm_dat\Energyplus\Project_cons.res\Zone air temperatures.csv
