I've found a fairly simple way to find the external ceiling area.

Expand the room in the 'room browser' (LHS tab) to see individual surfaces in the room. Highlighting an individual surface (if it's a wall, it's named wall, ceiling = ceiling and so on...). Another level down you highlight 'Exterior ...

Hi there,

I've spotted a problem with the data assignment section in the model report, in particular the detailed data breakdown of each space.

First I though the headings are not very clear as to what they represent. Is there a user guide detailing what each heading represents?

Then I realised ...

Hi everyone,

I've been looking at the solar gains for a model. I've been using SunCast and ApacheSim to collect some data for various building surfaces and I'm seeing some interesting results.

Here are the results from one building surface for one hour in one day:

On ApacheSim (VistaPro): Ext ...

I've finished creating a model and am now beginning to test its compliance with the Regs;L2_ENGLAND license installed.

Hi there,

I'm currently modelling a sports facility which includes a heavily glazed pool hall which must be maintained at very specific internal conditions throughout the day and night.

Any help ...

Unfortunately not. Air permeability is a specific parameter used to test the air tightness of a building. Although it is very closely related to the infiltration rate, the units being used are more specific than a simple ac/h. It is a measurement of the infiltration rate within a building in units ...

I simply need to change the air permeability.

I've found how to do this in previous versions of IES, but the same routes don't seem to apply to the 2015 version. If there's a way to do this, they've hidden it well.

Cheers,
