Heating loads by surface?

[david373348]

I'm trying to look if there is some option in IES VE Vista to get the heating and energy loads output results by surface (by meter square).

Thanks in advance for your help

Hi,

I don't think there is anything that can help you in VE here. If you go down to surface level in Vista you'll see what results are displayed per surface and also have a look at the detailed loads reports (in Vista choose the menu option Settings >> Report Preferences and tick "detailed room loads" before generating the report - CIBSE loads report only)

If this doesn't help then best I can advise is to export to Vista and process the results further there.

Thanks for your reponse,

In fact I see that the option to export the results to a third party software is convenable.

But I have another problem related: I'm modelling the 5th floor in a tower of 10 floors, to simplify but take in account the exchange between floors I simplify my model in a three floors model.

I do the simulation and what I'm trying to get in vista is the "total energy" of just the "objective" floor (2th floor). Unfortunately I can not get the total energy by room, because the energy analysis outputs (total energy by fuel, lights energy by fuel) is doing for the Total model which are also the floors that I don't want to get in the output results (but in the simulation process those floors are important for me).

Is there a way to do this Energy output analysis (the total energy) for only the floor concerned? getting the results for the 3 floors configuration?

I was trying to find the answer by assign each floor a layer but it doesn't work since the output energy result that I get still are the total model energy needs.

Thanks in advance

If selecting the rooms and choosing room variables isn't giving what you require then my best advice would be to create a copy of the HVAC system and assign this to the rooms you are studying, then in Vista change to view system level results (change the dropdown to above the rooms browser list at left side of page to systems) and you can then view results per system, this would be a way to separate out the results you want to see
