Drawing builder

Add rooms by selecting a type and drawing on the canvas. Add windows by clicking room walls. Ventilation paths animate but never quite arrive.

Internal gains & occupancy

Per TM59 default profiles, with a few extras we keep meaning to remove from the template.

Ventilation strategy

Defines the assumed natural and mechanical air paths during occupied hours.

Cells re-shade on every recalc. Don't read too much into the pattern.

Suggested mitigations

  • Add MVHR with summer bypass
  • Add external shading to south & west elevations
  • Add trees (mature, by completion)
  • Add a brise soleil
  • Consider giving up
