Diversity and Aggregation
Within a single dwelling
Step 1 : recalculation of the tapflows
Step 2 : calculation of the diversity factor and the diversity flow
Step 3 : calculation of the DHW flow and DHW power at CH side, influenced by a regime changing component like a heat exchanger, HIU, storage tank, ...
Step 4 : aggregation of the DHW flow/power with the CH flow/power at CH side
Multiple dwellings
Step 5 : propagate power, flows and temperature regimes over multiple dwellings and branches
Step 6 : aggregation of the DHW flow/power with the CH flow/power
