Thermal needs Models

buildingmodel.models.thermal_needs.calculate_thermal_needs(buildings, boundaries, dwellings, parameters)[source]

Calculates the annual and peak thermal needs by combining the boundary losses, ventilation losses, solar gains, occupant internal gains and intermittency factor

Parameters:

  • buildings (GeoDataframe) – a GeoDataframe containing the building geometries and parameters

  • boundaries (GeoDataframe) – a GeoDataframe containing the boundary geometries and parameters

Returns:

Parameters:

  • buildings (GeoDataframe) – a GeoDataframe containing the building geometries and parameters

  • boundaries (GeoDataframe) – a GeoDataframe containing the boundary geometries and parameters

Returns:
