heating is not required. An example of the heating system definition window for a space heating storage heater can be seen in Appendix 1, Figure A1.48. To calculate the performance of a storage heater, the initial and maximum storage levels must be given, and then, for each timestep, the algorithms outlined in Figure 5.23 and 5.24 must be followed.
