DocumentationUsage profiles are concerned with the time-based usage of spaces and provide information about miscellaneous heat gains/losses to space over time. These include
(i) Patterns of people within a space and their activities within the space
(ii) Patterns of machinery and equipment usage within the space
(iii) Patterns of artificial light usage within the space
Typically, usage profiles are acquired with space type data. In this process, usage profiles can be added, adapted, and amended for occurrence purposes.
