Parameters

Write one file per building? (oneFilePerBuilding)

If desired, one result file can be written for each simulated building.

It includes:

* "Hour of the Year"

* Hourly demand

* Load duration curve

Those file can be used in further processing, e.g. with INSEL.

• Type : boolean
• Default : false
• Getter : isOneFilePerBuilding()
• Setter : setOneFilePerBuilding(boolean)
