Hi all,

In dynamic simulation, does anyone know if it's at all possible to include a variable that refers to the hour prior to the hour that I'm assessing? For example, I want to set up a profile formula that controls the windows opening based on the temperature not in the hour currently, but in the hour prior to the current hour? I know it's possible to set up your profile based on the variables in another room (other than the one you've assigned the profile to), but is it possible to do the same with the variables in terms of time reference??

any tips would be greatly appreciated!

I'm pretty sure you can't. As far as I know any profiles can only reference data from the current time-step and not any previous.

I don't think there is anyway to specify the timestep for the variable you are referencing. It's as John says
