SAP2012ThermostatModel

class OBLib.SAP2012ThermostatModel.SAP2012ThermostatModel[source]

Bases: OBLib.ScheduleModel.ScheduleModel

Class representing the thermostat model in SAP2012.

SAP2012 is the energy calculation methodology used in the UK for building regulation compliance of domestic buildings. See https://www.bregroup.com/sap/standard-assessment-procedure-sap-2012/

This model predicts the ‘living area’ heating period as given in Table 9 of the SAP2012 document. This is:

On weekdays, the heating is on at times 07:00-09:00 and 16:00-23:00 with a thermostat temperature of 21 degC.
On weekends, the heating is on at time 07:00-23:00 with a thermostat temperature of 21 degC.

When the heating is off, an assumed thermostat setpoint of -100 degC is used.

Code Example

>>> from OBLib import SAP2012ThermostatModel
>>> model=SAP2012ThermostatModel()
>>> model.inputs.set_timestamps(start=(2021,1,1),
>>>                             freq='H',
>>>                             periods=24*7)
>>> result=model.run()
