HVAC general

The HVAC devices of the building are defined in this section. This means usage and also energy/work distribution if multiple devices are used for the same task. For a list of possible devies see the HVAC database and for information about the needed input of the respective device, see this page.

Distribution

In the Distribution tab it is defined how the generated Heat, DHW and Ventilation is distributed. The heat losses due to pipes and ducts are taken into account for the final calculation

Hydronic heating

These inputs are only required, if the Hydronic Heat distribution is accomplished by pipes. For the estimation of the heat loss, data of the pipe length, geometry, its construction and the temperature difference between inside fluid and outside is necessary. The heat loss coefficient has to be calculated by a separate tool which is implemnted on the GUI of WUFI.

DHW

The DHW distribution is very similar to the Hydronic Heating distribution. Additional information about the running hours of the circulation are required. Usually the DHW circulation is running 24 hours per day, apart from single family houses, which are running around 8-12 hourse a day.
Furthermore, the length (sum) and diamater of individual pipes need to be entered. The pipes are starting from the circulation and usually end at the water tap.

Ventilation

Unlike other components it is not necessary to create an assembly for the pipes because only the data of the
