Thanks CP

So i have auxillary ventilation set up, to external air with offset. If i have this set up does that mean in the "systems" tab i leave the outside variation profile turned off continuously, or in effect will be doubling up on the fresh air load in the summer ?

or am i understanding it ...

HI

I am trying to understand what the outside air variation profile is used for.

Currently we have a building where I am running the overheating analysis. We are using a MVHR system in, there are no openable windows because of noise. When I have the outside air variation profile set to off in ...

HI

i recently opened a model from our work network, as i opened it it states that "the process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process"

Morning Terence

oh i see. makes sense then. My head is so wrapped up in this CHP i am not thinking properly ha ha

yeah at the top of his post it says he tested it on Apache and VE complience and they work the same.

I understand the other points you are making.

I guess right now i am looking for confirmation that unless you have VE2015 (i am also on 2014) you cannot replicate a CHP running DHW ??

I know I'm not Terence but I'll give this a go. For what it's worth I'm hedging my bets on this being a glitch in IES 2014 which has been fixed in 2015.

Terrence,

when you say click the option same as "space heating" is thaat telling IES that the Heating method is the same for both heating and ...

Hi Guys,

I just tested this in VE 2015 and it was working the same in Apache and VE Compliance. Here are my inputs
