Article 8.4.4.17 refers to required temperature setpoint adjustments of the reference building in the case where the proposed design is served by in-floor, in-ceiling or in-wall radiant heating and/or cooling systems. In this case, the reference building heating and cooling setpoints should be set 2°C warmer and 2°C cooler respectively than the proposed design building by the user.
Temperature setpoints for the reference building can be accessed via the System Parameters dialog of the Reference building HVAC system following its setup.
Individual HVAC schedules of operation and temperature setpoints can be created for each system, zone and/or space using the Schedules and Setpoints tool of the System Parameters dialog.
Note that the throttling range should be identical between the proposed and reference buildings.
