Passive first — the 5 % rule
A room is acceptable free-running when at most 5 % of occupied hours exceed the comfort limit (EN 16798-1). Before adding cooling capacity try, in order: exterior screens, night ventilation, more exposed mass, less glass — every change re-simulates the year instantly.
Assumptions
Reflectances: ceiling 0.8 · walls 0.7 · floor 0.3 · frame fraction 80 %. LTA is set in the Building fabric card. Movable shading is ignored for daylight (GRO convention); LM-83 blind operation is not modelled — treat sDA as indicative. Neighbouring rooms and tagged surroundings block light.
Element values are mPt per m² of element over the building's life, TOTEM-style sample data — import real TOTEM results via ⬆ Import (JSON or one buildup per line as name;element;mPt); a live TOTEM API connection is planned. Surfaces come from the scan: interior walls count once (each shared face at 50 %), storey floors count slab + ceiling as one buildup from the room above, technical systems follow the Systems choices.
⬆ Import spaces from Excel — generate the rooms in the model…
Tick rows to select those rooms in the 3D view and bulk-edit them in the sidebar selection card; selecting in SketchUp highlights the rows here. Space names are editable — they rename the SketchUp group. Cooling capacity, comfort category and daylight targets are building-level settings under Systems.
Transfer openings: door undercuts or grilles of ≥ 25 m³/h per internal door (≥ 50 m³/h to the kitchen); ≈ 70 cm² free section per 25 m³/h. Natural potential: Warren–Parkins stack; operable share set under Systems → Automated windows.
