Plug Loads and Internal Gains Management Plan
The RIBA Passivhaus Overlay, published by the RIBA in 2022, states in relation to the Plug Loads and Internal Gains Management Plan This is a live document that is developed, used and updated to reflect the best available understanding of the building’s intended occupancy types, electrical equipment loads and occupancy patterns. This will inform an understanding of time utilisation and the resulting hot water and electrical loads, monthly performance profiles and targets for building systems (heating, hot water, cooling, fans, pumps etc.), and allow appropriate sub-metering strategies to be developed). This document is important in all low energy buildings (including those achieving the Passivhaus standard).’
