Model Description

Model Form

• This model produces the lifecycle water usage in a building at a coarse level of detail.
• Entire lifecycle
$${GWP_{LC}} = {i_n}({E_{total}}-{E_{OP}}) + {E_{OP}}{i_{OP}}$$

DDM sensitivities

• No

Properties

Object Name

• Name of the object in Rt
• Allowable characters are upper-case and lower-case letters, numbers, and underscore (“_”).
• The name is unique and case-sensitive.

Display Output

• Determines whether the model is allowed to print messages to the Output Pane.

Life Cycle Energy

• \({E_{total}}\) = The entire life cycle energy for a building in J

Operation Energy

• \({E_{OP}}\) = The total energy used over the operation stage of building‘s life cycle J

GWP Intensity Operation

• \({i_{OP}}\) = The GWP intensity of operational phases in kgCO2e/ J

GWP Intensity Non Operation

• \({i_n}\) = The GWP intensity of non operational phases in kgCO2e/ J

Output

• \({E_{GWP}}\) = The lifecycle energy usage in a building regarded to global warming potential in J
• The output is an automatically generated generic response object, which takes the object name of the model plus “Response”.
