[Equest-users] High space heating values

[Xavier García Casals]

Did you have a look at infiltration values, schedules and calculation 
method (effects of outside T and V)?. Since Std.90.1 does not fix this 
values both programes could be using different defaults with a 
significant impact on heating demand.
