Emitters

Emitters are added in the Plan task. Existing emitters should be added to the the Surveyed plan. Radiator upgrades should be completed on design options. Make sure emitters are being added to the correct floor plan.  

Below is a quick video demonstrating how to add and upgrade radiators and underfloor heating.

Emitters

You can find many controls and details on the Emitters tab:

• View heat loss information per floor and navigate between floors
  • Emitter output: total floor emitter output / total floor heat loss
  • Sufficient rooms: number of rooms where heat loss is met / number of rooms where heat loss is not met.  
• Hover over the 🛈 icon next to Emitters to view the total emitter output and annual demand for the property property 
• Each room will display whether the heat loss is met alongside the room emitter output / room heat loss loss 
• Click 🡥 to see room details and the exclamation icon to override the heat loss for that room.
• On new or existing emitters you can edit details or delete. For removed emitters, you can restore the emitter to add it back to the design option.

Overriding heat loss

To override the heat loss on a room, click the exclamation icon. Input the reason for the override and save.  

The text will then appear on the floor plan. To view the full text, click  🡥 See room details.
