9.2.1 Create/refresh proposed model from real model
This action derives a Proposed model variant from the Actual model. The geometry of the two buildings is kept the same, but the following changes are automatically applied:
· CDB internal shading devices (blinds, shades, recesses) are turned off
· Construction surface resistances are checked, and any non-compliant constructions are reported to the user
The main use of having an actual model and a proposed model is to allow the user to work only on the real model before entering in a compliance mode. Once the real model (actual) is built, the user may enter in the compliance model to compare the proposed model to the baseline model. The user may want to change some of the schedules used in the actual model, to comply with the rating system’s requirements in terms of schedules, or equipment loads for example.
