How to specify heated floor area
Purpose
Section titled “Purpose”Specify the area used as a multiplier for energy consumption, default values and DGNB energy reference factors, separate from the reference area.
Prerequisites
Section titled “Prerequisites”You’re on Building and operation, in the Usages table.
- Fill in the Heated column for the usage.
- If the building has a heated basement area, also fill in the Heated basement column: 50% of it is automatically added in the BR calculation (energy frame convention).
- If the building has mixed usage, the area is already specified per usage, because each usage is its own row in the table, see How to split a building with mixed usage.
Result
Section titled “Result”Energy consumption (kWh/m²/year) is multiplied by the heated floor area to calculate the total environmental impact from operation (B6).
Heated floor area is not part of the reference area, and the reference area is not part of the heated floor area. The two numbers each have their own purpose and both need to be filled in correctly.
