Further to my previous post, although I have defined cooling system in the Thermal Template, Apache Simulation does not show any cooling load results file (.ctg file). Therefore, I am calculating cooling load from .aps file. Does it make any difference?

Is it possible to see cooling energy ...

Hi,
Can anyone please help me on calculating cooling demand. I am looking into two cases with two different climate data. Can anyone please tell in order to compare which case consumes more energy what room variable should I use? When I look at 'Cooling + dehum plant load' the second room/ case ...

Thanks mypoe. That's what I am doing now!

Best!

Does IES consider the impact of surrounding buildings in terms of mutual shading and reflecting Short-wave radiation?
What about wind flow? Is wind going to be channelised through the canyons and streets and thereby affect any internal ventilation? I just heard from the TAS presentation yesterday ...

Hi Zap,

I am using: KolkataIWEC.fwt and BGD_Dhaka.419230_SWERA.epw

Thanks.

Hi, I am trying to see the impact of different building geometry and micro-climate on building energy consumption. I have modelled 4 identical buildings arranged around a court in modelIt and looked into the energy consumption for the same building arrangement for two different cities in two ...

Hi everyone,

I just tried this short file path theory, but macroflow doesn't seem to be working yet. I am trying to simulate a naturally ventilated building. But the simulation results show that Natural Ventilation, Macroflow Internal Ventilation all are zero. When I look into surface level and ...

OMG! I really didn't expect an answer at this hour! I am so happy that your answer has clarified some major confusions. Firstly none of my changes in BTM is actually assigned to the project! Secondly, continuous internal gain.But I didn't find another place to assign internal gain other than BTM ...

Hi, Sorry for the very long post.I am trying to simulate a building in a tropical humid climate. I have adjusted the BTM in the following manner. My location does not have a weather file in ASHRAE database. Therefore, I have placed a .EPW weather file in the shared content. Then in Aplocate, I have ...

Thank you so much for your reply!
