monthly_energy_balance_workflow

This tool calculates the monthly energy balance for each building in a given region. It provides as results the energy demand and consumption separated in:

Heating
Cooling
Domestic Hot Water

Also, electrical demand of:

Lighting
Other appliances

And heating and cooling peak loads.

All these results are provided both, monthly a yearly based.

The following assumptions are taken:

No building in the region have attics
All buildings have basement but those are not heated
The construction details come from nrcan
The usage details come from nrcan
The system details come from the Montreal Custom catalog
