Cheers Phil, this should give me a bit of direction on the issue

Hi All,

Probably a very simple answer to this asI've only just started using Sketchup, but here it goes anyway.

I've received a Sketchup model that is quite complex, lots of curved walls and odd curved roof. I'm trying to identify the rooms to import the geometry to VE2012 but I get a warning ...

Hi,

I am working on a project currrently where the southern facade is made-up of 100% windows. Each window section comprises of glazed panels and opaque panels in a randomly designed pattern. There is no detail available to draw in each opaque panel and each glazed panel that's contained within ...

Hi Johnny,

In my limited experience I've found that inputting the SFP at system level should register on the BRUKL providing you've selected mechanilcal ventilation system as the 'primary system'. This figure as I understand it, is a figure for the total system, (Supply & Return) so there should ...

Hi Phil,

Cheers, for that. If I understand that link correctly, it would appear my method in this instance is correct.
However, I'm afraid I've not done any IES training since Uni

Hi,

When applying SFPs at system level, is that sufficient for IES to include it in the PArt L calc?
I always assumed it was but I recently QA'd a modelling report and found on the BRUKL that SFPs had been applied for every room at room level. They show up as local supply & exhaust on the document ...

Thanks for the response John, apologies for the late, LATE reply.

I understand I can draw the 'tubes'(rooms) at a minus level, but surely a little more detail on the inputs is required to see how the tubes or labyrinth will perform over the course of a year?

Hi,

I'm interested in modelling earth tubes and or labyrinth systems in IES but unsure where to begin. I've seen a few links to a PDF guide but none of them seems to work! Any guidance would be great guys.

Many thanks,
