CasualGain

class iesve.CasualGain

Bases: object

Internal Gain data. Returned from VEThermalTemplate function get_casual_gains(). Three categories of internal gains are defined (represented by individual classes):

• EnergyGain

• LightingGain

• PeopleGain

get() → dict

Returns a dictionary containing the data for the internal gain.

EnergyGain:

Key	Value
allow_profile_saturate	(bool) True if profile saturate allowed, False otherwise
energy_source	(string) Fuel name
id	(string) ID
max_latent_gain	(float) see units_str / units_val for units
max_power_consumption	(float) see units_str / units_val for units
max_sensible_gain	(float) see units_str / units_val for units
name	(string) Gain name
pc_convective_gain	(float) Percentage convective gain, between 0 and 100
radiant_fraction	(float) Radiant fraction
type_str	(string) Gain type: ‘Machinery’, ‘Miscellaneous’, ‘Cooking’, ‘Computers’
type_val	(iesve.EnergyGain_type) see below for valid enum values
units_str	(string) ‘W/m²’ or ‘W’
units_val	(int) 0 = W/m², 1 = W

diversity_factor	(float) Diversity factor
id	(string) ID
max_latent_gain	(float, W) Maximum latent gain
max_sensible_gain	(float) Maximum sensible gain
name	(string) Gain name
number_of_people	(float) only valid/present if units_str / units_val are: people
occupancy_density	(float) only valid/present if units_str / units_val are: m²/person
