I have modeled a house with 3 people occupancy and I want to see the predicted dhw consumption with and without the solar thermal system. Basically, I ran the model with and without the 'Solar heating system' ticked/unticked in the 'systems' and the DHW system box ticked to 'use same as HVAC ...

Hi,

I have tried running this, but when i view my results on vista under 'conduction gain' there is 'No data to plot.' Would you know what are the reasons for this?

Thanks

I am currently using VE Pro (student Version) to model a house. I have ran CIBSE load from Apache. Does anyone know how I can find out the heat gain/loss (say monthly) from the dwelling using Vista?

Actually, seems like I'm able to transfer my model from IES to Google Sketch by exporting it as stl file and then installing a plug in by Jum foltz into energy plus. However some problems with making it an energy space but still trying have a hack at it. Thanks anyway!

Would you be able to pass on the reasoning from BRE? I tried contacting them but they said that they have just consulted other companies during the process and no further details were provided. Basically, they weren't very helpful at all.

How does IES uses the design weather data and how does it uses the simulation weather data (i.e. what are the differences)? Is there any reference or documentation on this?

Would you know specifically how SBEM/BRE come up with these estimates?

Is there any way I can use my model in IES for EnergyPlus?

I am trying to use another Building Energy Analysis (EnergyPlus) but I don't want to re-build my model again. I have already done the model construction in IES using ModelIt. I would like to know how can I export my model from IES in gbxml format if it is possible. It only has the import function ...

I am trying to know where were the data for the Dwell Profiles were obtained and how were they formulated (i.e. were based on statistics? If so, what kind of statistics were used to determine the modulation values). The only reference with regard to this that it only states it's obtained from 'BRE ...
