Peak Heating and Cooling Plots

## Peak Heating and Cooling Plots
52+
The left side plots show the cooling and heating load on the hottest and coldest days of the year. The right side plots **double check that these plots have the right inputs and their interpretation**.

Set Heating and Cooling Setpoints
60+
## Set Heating and Cooling Setpoints
61+
The heating setpoint determines at what temperature the active heating system turns on. The cooling setpoint determines at what temperature the active cooling system turns on. This replicates the logic and behgavior of a thermostat. A heating setpoint of 21 C and a cooling setpoint of 25 C is reasonable for human comfort.

Vary Setpoints and Compare Calculated Peak Loads
69+
## Vary Setpoints and Compare Calculated Peak Loads
70+
Note the peak heating and cooling loads for your chosen setpoints. Record them in a panel. Then change your setpoints and compare the calculated peak loads. How do they change? Does this align with your expectations?
