External Software Integration - Solar Computer

  1. In the GBIS settings the user should select the correct piping system - the ones that connect the manifold to the source.

  2. When the Solar Computer is opened, the user should select the manifold. In the GBIS widow, our manifolds should be classified as a consumer because our BIM content included Solar Computer parameters.

  3. If the user uses generic content please classify it as a Floor heating manifold.

  4. The user could tag the manifold with the UPO_Heating and Cooling Manifold tag to see the main calculation results.

  5. In the GBIS widow the user should enter the calculation results such as mass flow, temperatures and pressure loss. The pressure loss should be in hPa. If the user pro-vides the mass flow and temperatures he doesn’t need to provide the system power.
