Project Report

Variant menu: Results > Project Report .

There is for each project variant a short presentation (formerly quick report) and a technical documentation (formerly detailed project report).

Project Report: Presentation

Variant menu: Results > Project Report > Presentation

The presentation contains the system schematic, the input data, and the simulation results. You can print this summary from the page view.

If you have made changes to the system since the last simulation, a new simulation must first be run, in order to display the presentation.

Page 1:
At the top of the first page features the system schematic:

  • The information listed includes the type, number, and orientation of collectors, the volumes of the tanks, the nominal power of the boiler, the outlet and inlet temperature of the heating loop (where necessary, split into radiator and underfloor heating), and the average daily consumption and DHW target temperature for DHW consumption.
  • The results of the simulation are presented below:
    • Irradiation onto the collector surface area (absolute and per m²)
    • Energy from the collectors, energy from the collector loop (absolute and per m²)
    • Energy supply, solar energy for DHW – both space heating parameters for systems with space heating –
    • Auxiliary heating energy
    • Fuel savings, CO2 emissions cut
    • Solar fraction, efficiency
    • Fraction of energy savings in accordance with DIN EN 12976
    • If you have defined a Reference System under System Definition > Variant, the calculation of pollutants is reported for this system.

Page 2:
The parameters for location, DHW, and space heating are listed. The system components are listed by manufacturer, type, and key technical parameters.

Page 3:
The diagrams show the solar energy fraction of total consumption and maximum daily temperatures in the collector.

Energy flow diagram.

You can print:

  • the presentation,
  • save it as an editable RTF file under File > Save as RTF, or
  • as a PDF document under File > Save As.

A program such as Acrobat Reader is required to view PDF files. This is available on the T*SOL installation CD or at the website http://www.adobe.com.

Project Report: Documentation

Variant menu: Results > Project Report > Documentation.

The documentation contains all the system’s technical data and - when a simulation was done - all simulation results per year and month, but no graphics.

For a complete overview over the system, you need both: presentation and documentation.
