cooling for a day or similar. You can set a list of any
length, TEASER will multiplicate this list for one whole year.

Relative presence of persons 0-1 (e.g. 0.5 means that 50% of the total
number of persons are currently in the room). Given
for 24h. This value is taken from SIA 2024. You can set a list of any
length, TEASER will multiplicate this list for one whole year.
