1.1. Other features

Internal gains are computed based on occupancy (maximum value is given between brackets), they include the following list of features. Note that maximum occupancy is fixed as 80 % of value in table 2.

• people (8.75 W/m2 in offices, 32.9 W/m2 in conference room, 0 W in circulations and toilets)

• appliances (15 W/m2 only in offices)

• lighting (18 W/m2 in offices, 12 W/m2 in circulations, 6 W/m2 in toilets)

• fan coil unit ventilators (117 W/Fan coil unit)

Solar protections are also modelled, they are controlled by luminance passing through windows and by occupation. Artificial lighting depends on natural light available for workers [4] , and a correlation is implemented into TRNSYS. Occupancy profile is defined for offices and meeting room [3].
