Energy Settings #
The Energy Settings lets you customize energy input parameters for calculating the environmental impact of energy use (module B6).
Energy demand can be split into: Heating and Cooling: energy required due to transmission losses and air exchange Electricity: electricity demand for operational and user-related energy use. Exported Energy: Renewable energy supplied/exported to the surrounding energy grid, e.g. from photovoltaic systems.

Energy use categories #
| Category | B6.1 | B6.2 | B6.3 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Description | Operational and standardized energy use | Operational and non-standardized energy use | User and usage-related energy use |
| Examples | Heating, warm water, cooling, ventilation, lighting, building automation | Elevators, central services like building management systems, fire alarm systems, locking systems and access control systems | dishwasher, washing maschine |
| Energy type | Thermal and electrical energy | Electrical energy | Electrical energy |
Some certification systems require a subdivision of energy use into B6.1, B6.2, B6.3 according to EN 15978-1. To be able to read out the subdivision in the results, add the prefix B6.1, B6.2 or B6.3 to the naming of the energy input.
Share of renewable energy #
The renewable energy share values are informational and are required for some certification systems. The values and are not included in the LCA result calculation.
