Parameterisation & usage
In these blocks a file can be inserted, which will give the values in the column. Note that the time column unit needs to correspond with the used unit in the file.
The desired values needs to be filled in a .csv-file. The amount of columns can be up to 4 for the small one, and up to 20 for the large BC. The primary column will be a time column, which needs to correspond to the set unit.
If you have yearly data, note that the “time is relative to simulation start time” should be set to “No”.
Examples:
In the example below, a large file is made to show when there is demand in the building on a daily basis.
As seen here, on day 2, 4 and 6 a “1” is given to indicate demand in the building.
