Within the VE-SBEM method, HVAC and DHW systems characteristics analysis are specified within the framework of Apache Systems.
Systems are one of the aspects of building design where substantial carbon emissions improvements can be introduced. The system data is therefore under your control, and it is shared between the real building (as displayed in the Apache module) and the actual building (as displayed in VE Compliance).
System characteristics for SBEM analyses are defined using dialogs which closely mimic those in iSBEM, the native SBEM interface. The iSBEM manual should be consulted for documentation on these parameters.
The assignment of HVAC and DHW systems to rooms is described below.
