How do I know the system is taking these into consideration.</p> <p>Also does it make any difference to the gain&nbsp;calc if I tick the operable box for the windows?</p> <p>Regards</p> <p>Craig</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>JetDDB Heat Gainshttps://communities.bentley.com/products/building/performance/f/hevacomp-forum/156833/jetddb-heat-gainsThu, 21 Jun 2018 17:10:52 GMT6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:e5ce2738-b265-4f3d-b481-76c955edcfa6Craig Methven<p>When analysing my building using CIBSE Gain it only shows latent, sensible and total&nbsp;gains in the results/graph.
