Appliances

Where alternative heat loads are required, these may potentially displace the heat loads provided in the H6V2 Verification methodology. This approach allows for more specific calculations tailored to actual building conditions and equipment specifications.

The table below provides general data on common appliances, including their annual energy consumption values, product reference details, energy star ratings, and the assumed weekly usage frequency used during testing.

These values can serve as a starting point for heat load analysis and, through further optimisation strategies, can assist in reducing the overall heating loads within a space. By understanding the actual energy consumption patterns and heat contributions from various appliances, designers can make more informed decisions about heating and cooling demand implication.
