Calculations - Occupancy and heat gains
What takes precedence for people gains - is it the Standard room input data, or the definition of activity types?
VS.
The activity types are referenced below are from this thread: https://communities.bentley.com/products/building/performance/w/building_performance__wiki…

CIBSE Gain - Temperature rise
I understand that you get different heat gains in the following scenarios:
Within CIBSE gain tool allow temperature to rise by 1degC
Within room data increase summer design temp by 1degC
There is a calculation procedure for the first scenario…
RE: CIBSE Gain - Results Breakdown
Matthew, you have probably turned on Temperature Rise in the Design Data tab. When you use Temperature Rise the individual loads are combined in the underlying equations and cannot be accurately split out afterwards.
