. Expected results — 3rd level

The main result within the third level is given by the fractional solar heating & cooling savings (f sav, shc) which is defined by the (Equation 14. It presents a comparison of the primary energy need of the installed SHC system with a reference system, which is defined based on the real needs for heating and cooling.
