A House "System"
There are a number of parameters or variables that can be investigated to simulate how a house will perform thermally:

- Window R-values and SHGC
- Insulation R-values, Infiltration, Air Changes/Hour (ACPH)
- Site Orientation, Number of Degree Days
- Amount and Location of Glazing
- Thermal Mass - Type and Amount inside House
Our Thermal Simulations compare different designs known as "runs" and then quantitatively and graphically tracks the change in performance.
Design Analysis

A "Detail Sheet" with all the specific run data is created for each design. The Details Sheet records all the relevant design decisions; graphs the 24-hour termperature and heat flow (Q) data, and tracks the changes in a critical set of metrics.
