Field notes

The energy comparison uses a standard room of the same size and orientation, with typical climate windows, no shading, and lights always on. Users can adjust assumptions such as occupied hours, heating COP, and glass properties; the site notes that some HVAC loads are excluded and that built-in city temperatures are used when no EPW weather file is supplied.
