Heat flux through wall

Post by richardf »

Hi, a request for help:

Is there a way within the software to view the amount of heat flux through a given wall, or floor etc. And plot this as a graph or data file?

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Rich

When you go to run an apache simulation click on the "Output Options" button and then click "Conduction gains breakdown" under both the all rooms and detailed lists and ensure that all of the rooms at the bottom are highlighted (holding shift and click is your friend here).

Once the simulation is run select a room or group of rooms and you should see additional conduction gain options within the vista results that can be broken down into walls, roof, ground etc. Additionally you can then drill down to a specific surface and interrogate those individually.
