Re: System Load Calculations in PRM not working

Hi, I'm having that problem now.

Some times, other error messages appear, like: " Apache terminated unexpectedly" ... It is very frustrating because there is no apparent error. I'm using the IES 2017 version.

Did you solve your problem?

After performing "Room Load Calculations" (no problems here), the software tells me that there are " Zoning issue detected: Unassigned zones present. Assign model zones to these ...

Green roof with trees

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to simulate a building with a green-roof big (and deep) enough to have trees. How can I:

1-Insert the soil layer in the construction?
2-How can I put trees there? Do their shades have a significant impact on solar gain loads?

Thank you!!

HVAC different from vista

Hi everyone!

I have a question: I´m doing a simple exercise and in the HVAC, I put all the heating coils as electric but 1 for an experimentation. I put that one as a boiler (89% eff) and then I ran the simulation in AHSRAE loads. The problem is that I can see in vista, that specific (heating) coil ...
