KPI Visualizer unclear #667

Closed christophwaibel closed 2 years ago

christophwaibel commented 2 years ago

Describe the bug It is unclear to users what the KPIs in the visualizer calculate. Currently, they compute

Expected behavior The energy KPI would be more intuitive as an annual value, not for the building lifetime. For consistency, emissions and costs should also be showing annualized values. The user may him/herself then multiply this value by the expected building lifetime. A tooltip when hovering over the respective KPI would also help.

@christophwaibel tell @philipschulz strings for each of the tooltip buttons on the visualizer

@christophwaibel tell @philipschulz strings for each of the tooltip buttons on the visualizer

@philipschulz the strings per KPI:

Energy KPI: Annual operational final energy consumption for heating, cooling, electricity and domestic hot water. Emissions KPI: Annual operational carbon emissions for heating, cooling, electricity and domestic hot water, and annualized embodied carbon emissions of the building construction considering the expected building lifetime. Costs KPI: Annual operational cost for heating, cooling, electricity and domestic hot water, and annualized construction cost considering the expected building lifetime.
