User profiles

A short summary of the user profiles can also be found in our FAQs at Use / zoning / demand profiles.
A usage profile defines how a zone is used. The usage is thus defined identically for each room in the zone. All values are needed by the hour. For lighting, people, equipment and humidity, the maximum value can be specified for each room equal or per m².
If you have selected a predefined or user-defined (cross-project) profile for a zone, all profile values are already preset. If necessary, however, they can be adjusted. An hourly value can be used for several hours of the day. To do so, mark the desired hours with the left mouse button and enter the desired value.
A usage profile contains the following components:
- Heating usage profile
- Cooling usage profile
- Usage Profile Ventilation
- Usage profile Sun protection
- Usage profile lighting
- User profiles persons
- User Profiles Devices
- Humidity usage profile
Manage Calendar
Here you can access a dialog that allows you to assign exactly one time series to each day of the year using the buttons "Assign Series" and "Delete Series Assignment". You can also create new series and delete them. Once you have assigned each day to the appropriate series, you can define an hourly profile for each series in the main window of the Usage Profiles, as well as enter further information for a day of this series.
With the button "Accept Profiles" you can take an already defined series from another user profile. All already defined series of the opened calendar will be deleted. To view or change the day data of a series, click on the corresponding day in the year. A colored border appears around the day data, which corresponds to the color of the series valid on the selected day. During the simulation, the corresponding value from the series of the respective day is used later for each hour of the year.
