- ASSUMPTION 1 : The software assumes that the temperature in a dwelling is equal to its setpoint (day or night, dependent on the time), so implicitely it assumes that no comfort issues are applicable
ASSUMPTION 2 : The software assumes that that the heat demand in a dwelling is equal to the heat loss
ASSUMPTION 3 : the software assumes that each dwelling has the same type of radiators, same type of HIU’s, the same thermal losses and the same averaged daytime or nighttime temperature
- ASSUMPTION 4 : the software assumes that the system is balanced (during design of the system)
This actually means that the software neglects thermal inertia and assumes stable control logic, a hydraulic balanced system and no temperature lacks & excesses.
For the purpose of ILS, these are acceptable assumptions leading to a good approximation of heat loads and mass flows.
