 The monthly method in the PHPP uses the utilisation factors in accordance with [EN 13790]. Experience with this calculation method for residential buildings has been excellent compared with the dynamic building simulation (for example, see [Feist 1998]), and it also proved successful for inhabited buildings as well as in the direct probation of inhabited buildings. The monthly method in the PHPP uses the utilisation factors in accordance with [EN 13790].

 Altogether, in the energy balance method, the utilisation factor appears to have been calculated a little too low with constantly free heat (i.e. dominating constant IHG), and a little too high with temporally concentrated free heat. Thus, in typical cases both influences balance each other out and the heating demand according to the PHPP correlates with the simulation. Altogether, in the energy balance method, the utilisation factor appears to have been calculated a little too low with constantly free heat (i.e. dominating constant IHG), and a little too high with temporally concentrated free heat.

 Based on Figure 9, utilisation as a seminar room was therefore considered in addition. Internal heat loads of 25 W/m² prevail from Monday till Friday afternoon, during the highest outdoor temperatures, which equates to average internal loads of 3 W/m². A temperature requirement arises only during these times; outside of the usage periods, the temperature in the room can be set freely. The window areas are reasonably dimensioned; active cooling is augmented through intensive ventilation with an air change rate of 5 h<sup>-1</sup> during the summer. Based on Figure 9, utilisation as a seminar room was therefore considered in addition.

 According to these results, the cooling load method of the PHPP is suitable for buildings with minimised loads, i.e. a good level of solar protection and internal loads that are either small or uniformly distributed in time. In these cases it provides enough reliability to compensate for some of the temperature fluctuations occurring during the course of the day. If loads are so high that daily buffering is no longer possible, then a method with higher time resolution will have to be used. According to these results, the cooling load method of the PHPP is suitable for buildings with minimised loads, i.e. a good level of solar protection and internal loads that are either small or uniformly distributed in time.

 Since temperature fluctuations are  relevant for calculation of the frequency of overheating, this inevitably entails the use of a dynamic calculation method. In order to avoid a complicated dynamic simulation based on hourly data, a greatly simplified dynamic method is used in the PHPP. Figure 15 illustrates this principle in comparison with a dynamic simulation for the same underlying test reference year. The course of the indoor temperature curve is determined under constant monthly boundary conditions using a 1-output model. There is an exponential indoor temperature curve for each month, the average value of which can be calculated using analytical methods. If the indoor temperature is less than the heating setpoint temperature at the end of the month, the following month starts with the heating setpoint temperature again.  Since temperature fluctuations are  relevant for calculation of the frequency of overheating, this inevitably entails the use of a dynamic calculation method.

 In order to be able to show the influence of individual hot days as well, and to obtain meaningful results for small overheating frequency values, the month of July is additionally divided into several parts: the cooling load day at the end of the month, the four preceding days with slightly lower temperatures and radiation values, another twelve preceding days with lower temperatures and radiation values once more, and the then the rest of the month. In the process, the month is divided in such a way that the monthly average values for the outdoor temperature and solar incidence for July remain unchanged. The average values for the indoor temperature are also determined in the same way for these shorter periods.  In order to be able to show the influence of individual hot days as well, and to obtain meaningful results for small overheating frequency values, the month of July is additionally divided into several parts: the cooling load day at the end of the month, the four preceding days with slightly lower temperatures and radiation values, another twelve preceding days with lower temperatures and radiation values once more, and the then the rest of the month.

 There is a similar tendency for high loads with 9 W/m². However, for air change rates higher than 3 h<sup>-1</sup>, the summer ventilation algorithm of the PHPP provides values that are too pessimistic; while the frequency of overheating with a five-fold air change rate is already within the acceptable range according to the simulation, this is not the case with the PHPP. This difference is due to the method used for calculating the removal of heat through summer ventilation. There are still possibilities for refining the calculation method, but the PHPP algorithm is at least on the safe side.  There is a similar tendency for high loads with 9 W/m².

 In non-residential buildings, the question of whether all hours with overheating fall within the usage period arises on account of the intermittent usage. If that was the case, then the frequency of overheating  determined in the PHPP can (and must) be converted to that occurring during the usage - as a meaningful measure of thermal comfort in summer - using the factor tYear/tUse. In non-residential buildings, the question of whether all hours with overheating fall within the usage period arises on account of the intermittent usage.

 Based on the entire year and the usage period, the overheating frequencies can differ considerably depending on the air change rates which are possible in summer. Conversion with the ratio of usage period to the entire year would also give pessimistic results, but the difference is no longer as great. The reason for this can be seen in the upper chart in Figure 19, where the temperature curve for high summer air change rate is shown. The excessive temperatures actually occur almost exclusively during the usage period.   Based on the entire year and the usage period, the overheating frequencies can differ considerably depending on the air change rates which are possible in summer.

 These examples demonstrate that it is generally not possible to make statements regarding thermal comfort in summer which are more precise than those derived from the categories in Table 1. It is difficult to predict even the summer air change rate, because according to the system, it depends more or less on user behaviour. The outside temperatures and wind speeds which are influenced by the microclimate also affect the removal of heat through night-time ventilation. The year-to-year fluctuations in weather are not subject to any influence in any case. These examples demonstrate that it is generally not possible to make statements regarding thermal comfort in summer which are more precise than those derived from the categories in Table 1.
