how to view heat gain seperately for each envelope type?

[kparekh]

I have completed model with all templates and schedules.. and successfully ran ApacheSim..
now i want to find out heat gain through Glazing, Wall and roof separately..
Can anyone help, how it will be possible?

Hi,

This should be quite easy for you. On the simulation settings click the Output Options button and tick "Conduction gains breakdown" for all rooms. Run the sim.

In Vista select the rooms you are interested in and you will see added to the room variables list all Conduction gains listed individually for each element. You probably want to select the whole building and then tick "Combine rooms" to make the output easier to manage but you can get individual rooms as well fairly easily.

Hi Phil,

I have another query about this. the conduction gain break down gives external conduction, internal conduction or combination of both?

Thank you!

just try it yourself and you will see the gains are broken down for all surace stypes, internal and external
