EXAMPLE OF USE

Scenario I - method of accounting linear thermal bridges

1. Editing the default data:
   • In the window, , tab choose for the ;
   • (Optionally) for the . This automatically sets the AUTO status to be set for all fields of the () column, available on the form / , with the following default values:
     • = 0.05 - for the external partitions (, , , , ) and for the partitions in contact with the ground (, );
     • = 0.00 - for the internal partitions (, , , ).
       

       

       2. column with "auto mode" status.

       
       
   • (Optionally) Introducing - available for the DIN standards.
2. Editing the :
   • Select the method of determining () in the form / :
     

     

     3. method.

     
     
     • User's - allows to set the value of the allowance by yourself;
     • Automatically - initialises the default values according to the AUTO;
     • - = 0.05 ;
     • - = 0.1 .

Scenario II - Method of accounting linear thermal bridges

1. Editing the default data:
   • In the window, , tab choose for the .
2. Editing the :
   • Select the method of determining () in the form / :
     

     

     4. .

     
     
     • User's - allows to set the value of the allowance by yourself;
     • The values from the drop-down menu.

Scenario III - method of accounting linear thermal bridges

1. Editing the default data:
   • In the window, , tab choose for the .
2. Definition of default types of the linear thermal bridges:
   • After making the () scope with the representation of thermal bridges will be available in and on ;
   • Open , , . Select the default definition for each type of linear thermal bridge from the offered visualized variants. Note: One definition per bridge type is available by default.
     
     Once a linear bridge is defined, its description will be available in the working space and in the :
     • ,
     • ,
     • (from the visualized variants),
     • , ().
       
       
       
       
     • (Optionally) Copy an existing thermal bridge definition and modify its data, indicate as default;
     • (Optionally) Create a new bridge definition, manually complete its data, select a bridge category from the list and indicate as default;
     • (Optionally) Deletion of selected user definitions of bridges.
3. Perform , and the automatically detected linear thermal bridges will be assigned the corresponding values and taken into account in the ;
4. Overview of automatically recognized linear thermal bridges and make manual edits, if necessary:
   • Open , , . The tree presents the linear bridges within the rooms grouped by type in the related branches. All the bridges of a given type within a room can be selected using the function or by the . Multi-selection with CTRL/SHIFT is also possible;
   • The сhosen bridges are presented in the window and on a separate edit scope .
     

     

     4. .

     
     
   • The selection of linear thermal bridges directly in the window or is also possible in the scope by clicking on its graphic representation;
   • The linear thermal bridges of a defined type can be selected with the use of the buttons available at the ;
     

     

     5. Selection of thermal bridges of a defined type.

     
     
   • Manual editing of automatically assigned thermal bridges:
     • The operations, available for the selected thermal bridge, are the following:
       • Manual change of ;
       • Manual correction of the ( ) of a linear thermal bridge.
       • Unchecking check box ;
       • Change of and addition of .

Scenario IV - Method of accounting point thermal bridges

1. Editing the default data:
   • In the window, , tab choose for the .
2. Definition of point thermal bridges:
   • Open , , , . Select point thermal bridge type from the offered list. After making the () scope with the representation of thermal bridges area will be available in and on ;
   • The data of the selected type will be available in the :
     • ,
     • ,
     • (),
     • - when opening the field the definition grouped for the partitions will be available. This is possible to select one or more partition definitions,
     • with two variants to choose from: and ,
     • . Note: The correction of this field is also possible after making .
       
       
       
   • (Optionally) Copying an existing and modifying its data as above (e.g. to include the same bridge in different definitions);
   • (Optionally) Creating a new bridge definition, manually filling in the above data;
   • (Optionally) Deletion of selected user definitions of bridges.
3. Perform , resulting in automatic detection of point thermal bridges and their inclusion in the ;
4. Overview of automatically recognized point thermal bridges area and make manual edits, if necessary:
   • Open , , . After deploying the tree at the level, an expandable branch is available below the branches with linear thermal bridge types,
   • The сhosen bridges areas are presented in the window and on a separate edit scope .
     

     

     6. .

     
     
   • Manual editing of the point bridge area data:
     • The operations, available for the selected thermal bridge, are the following:
       • Change of , status AUTO / MANUAL ( / ):
         • AUTO allows to determine the according to bridge definition.
         • MANUAL gives the possibility to change the default method and to define individually the to be taken into account (via the fields or ).
       • Unchecking check box ;
       • Change of and addition of .
