Systems Preprocessor Step
Goal
Lets the user specify the probability distribution of HVAC systems for the simulated buildings. For example: 40% air-source heat-pumps and 60% pellet boilers. This information is needed for environmental analysis, with primary energy and CO2 emissions.

Parameters
Use an assessment scenario? (useScenario)
Should an assessment scenario be used?
If the CityGML file is incomplete or out-dated, a custom scenario can be defined, for example in order to specify:
In PhysicsPreprocessor: which percentage of buildings have been refurbished, depending on their building types (30% of single-family houses before 1995 to KfW55).
In SystemsPreprocessor: which HVAC system (e.g. pellet boiler or air-source heat-pump) has been installed.
- Type :
boolean - Default :
false - Getter :
isUseScenario() - Setter :
setUseScenario(boolean)
Available libraries (libraries)
List of libraries which have been imported and are available.
Selection is done either via GUI or by setting selectedLibrary to the desired index.
- Type :
List - Default :
[eu.simstadt.assessment.SystemXmlLibrary] - Getter :
getLibraries() - Setter :
setLibraries(List)
Selected Library (selectedLibrary)
Index (between 0 and n-1) for the desired library out of the list of available ones (libraries).
- Type :
int - Default :
0 - Getter :
getSelectedLibrary() - Setter :
setSelectedLibrary(int)
