NC-v4.1 EAp2:Minimum Energy Performance

Thermal Blocks

Hello everyone,

I am modelling a 3-floor office building. Each floor is mainly occupied by open offices, which face all 4 sides. Also, each floor has its own AHU, all structured the same way. My question is: am I allowed to create a single thermal block merging the three zones?
If so, do I "merge" also the AHUs, adding all the air flows to create a single one?

Thank you for your help!

See Table G3.1-7 Proposed. You should model each orientation as a separate thermal block on each floor.
