Admittances no longer in Construction DB??

Post by normwheatley »

Hi,

In version 5.9 of VE-PRO, the admittance values of a fabric could be found in the Constructuion database (still called APcdb) by hitting the "Derived Parameters" button ... however, in ver 6.0 the admittances are gone?!

Where can I find them please I need them urgently.

thanks much
Norm

Hi Norm,

In version 6 the Constructions Derived Parameters is updated so it only shows the parameters relevant to the current U-value calculation method. When viewing the Construction layers ensure the U-value calc method is set to CIBSE, then when you view the derived parameters you'll see that Admittance and other data is shown as expected.

Hope this helps you out,

Phil... any chance of these going back in - it's in a real mess the way it's been changed!
