JSON Input Example:

  • capacity
    The heat pump capacity.
  • designTemperature
    The winter outdoor design temperature.
  • heatLoss
    The winter heat loss of the building.
    • {
  "capacity" : {
    "at17" : 15100,
    "at47" : 24600
  },
  "designTemperature" : 5,
  "heatLoss" : 49667
}

    JSON Output Example:

    {
  "balancePoint" : 38.5
}
