How can I choose between the 99th and 99.6th percentile outdoor design temperature (ODT)?

heatpunk.co.ukThis guide applies to Heatpunk UK.

Choose default for all new projects your Pro team make:

For Pro teams only

An admin or owner can navigate to Pro Account Settings > Design > view and edit default temperatures.

With either postcode lookup or zone lookup selected, you can use the toggle to switch between 99th percentile coldest outdoor dry bulb temperature and 99.6th percentile coldest outdoor dry bulb temperature. The default will be the 99th percentile. Click confirm.

Choose default for all new projects you make as an individual user:

Navigate to My account > Preferences > Design > View and edit user-level default temperatures. Then you can use the toggle as above before clicking confirm.

Note: For individual users not in a Pro team, these settings will apply by default to all new projects you create, unless individual project values are adjusted.

Choose setting for one project:

In your project, navigate to the Plans task. Click the 3 dots in the top right corner to view more options then select temperature configuration. Then you can use the toggle as above before clicking confirm.

Note: This overrides Team and User settings, letting you change temperatures on a per project basis when needed.

Note: In the Performance task, the outdoor low temperature uses the 99.6th percentile, regardless of which ODT is selected.
