Checking the heating and cooling loads 

Simulation is used by the Accredited Assessor to calculate the heating and cooling loads for each dwelling in the project.

For Single Dwellings

For single dwelling projects, check that the heating and cooling loads shown in the BASIX Certificate are the same as on the Assessor Certificate.
