LS-D Building Monthly Loads Summary

Dear all,

I have quite high values from simulation report under LS-D building monthly
loads summary compared to values in SS-D Building HVAC Load Summary. Can anybody
predict what might be the reason? And what is exactly presented in LS-D report?

Thanks in advance.

Is this for heating or cooling?

If cooling it could then be the effect of an economizer or natural ventilation which basically amounts to free cooling and help displace some of the load.

It is for heating values actually. But the same explanation holds for heating
because the loads in LS-D are based on maintaining?an assumed constant indoor
temperature, calculated for 24x7 loads.?On the other hand,?the values in SS-D
include outside ventilation air, duct loss/gain, economizer effects etc.

By the way, for the people who haven't discovered yet, there is a report called
Detailed Simulation Reports Summary under your equest data folder
(Tutorials>DetailedUI) which is very useful to understand what is presented in
the detailed simulation report.

Thanks everyone for answers.
