Home floor

The default floor to which the elevator returns when allocated a parking call (e.g. in up peak mode), and its starting point at the beginning of a simulation or a round trip time calculation. For example, if you had an office building with a basement and 2 car parking floors below ground, you could set the Home Floor to be ground.


If the Analysis type is Up peak or Enhanced up peak, the Home Floor is fixed at the lowest floor in the building, as this is an assumption required by the calculation.
