I had done exactly what you did in your test model. I had input a lighting gain that I knew would yield an annual gain of wattage x 5 hrs/d x 356 days (same profile on every day). I then checked the result given by the simulator against that value and as stated earlier, only got the correct answer ...

Has anyone else faced this problem, namely gains profiles not being read correctly by the simulator? I had prepared close to realistic usage profiles for lighting and equipment based on the general philosophy that 100% lights or eqt on for one hour equals to 50% lights/eqt on for two hours etc ...

I was hoping to be able to view the energy consumption (lights, equipment, system) of individual rooms or room groups instead of the entire model. However, when selecting rooms in Vista, the energy option is no longer available and the output focus moves to temperature and thermal comfort issues. I ...

I have a situation where some rooms overheat (due to solar exposure) past the cooling setpoint during the winter heating season and subsequently activate cooling also in winter. I don't want this to happen but how would one prevent this from happening since the cooling/heating plant must be on ...

I had made a comprehensive list of various HVAC systems in one project and thought that they could be imported to another project. However, when I import the thermal templates to a new project, all system data is lost and replaced by 'main system' only and even the 'main system' is not what I had ...

Is there a way to overcome the problem of applying different window/door opening profiles to openings on the same wall? If one wall has windows with different function (i.e. some opening, others fixed), how would one apply them since the application is done on surface level and not on element level ...
