Hello Marcus,
1.My project orientation on NW,NE,SW and SE. But V4_Minimum energy performance calculator_spreadsheet have only North,East,West and South options, and spreadsheet not allow to change this option. Can i fill these cells as per spreadsheet and write a Narrative about orientation for reviewer.
2.Heating is required in Pakistan only in four months.I set my heating schedule for four month(Jan,Feb,Nov,Dec) and identically in Base and Proposed models. Is it acceptable or not ?
3.Cooling and Heating capacities model as per design in proposed case. but unfortunately my software have no option of auto-sized with 15% for cooling and 25 % for heating. How manipulate this problem?If i put manually these values with increased 15% and 25% form design,Is it acceptable for reviewer and write a narrative for reviewer and tell him about my calculation.
Thank you in Advance

1. Pick the closest orientation for each label. The specific direction does not matter.
2. Yes
3. HAP does have this option when auto-sizing the system. The best way to do this is as an over-sizing factor. I have also seen it applied as a saftey factor but this is not the preferred method.
