1. Differences between regulatory calculation and dynamic thermal simulation
STD differs from "regulatory" simulation in several respects.
The major difference between the two types of calculation is that the STD represents a totally open and parameterizable environment, whereas the regulatory calculation will impose all the assumptions to be taken into account when carrying out the simulation.
For example, the scenarios for occupying premises, switching on lighting, heating temperatures (during the day or at night) etc., are all precisely defined in the Thermal Regulations (RT), and these assumptions cannot be changed in a regulatory calculation program, where the standard RT scenarios have all been integrated.
In STD, on the other hand, all these parameters can be adjusted to best estimate the real consumption and needs of the building under study....
