Engineering automation for DGNB thermal comfort documentation. Define project specifications to set ranges and scores, import IESVE results directly into indicator processors, and let built-in compliance logic evaluate the outcome.

Contents include
  • Enter project specifications to specify range and score
  • Indicators for thermal comfort processors
  • Ready to import from IESVE results
  • Formula that calculate compliance
  • Filled-example PDF with instructions
Works best with whole-building simulation.
Engineering automation for repetitive post-processing.
Simulation methodology and engineering judgement remain the responsibility of the engineer.
