Multiplying entire floors

Post by pmcmm »

Hello everyone,

I have a quite simple question related to not being able to find the function, I hope. I'm quite new to IESVE and I'm still fighting with the huge amount of options and possibilities IES offers.

I am simulating a 20-storey building and, to save time in the simulation, i'd like to simulate a couple of floors and multiply them to get to the total energy usage. I want to do that using apacheHVAC so I can estimate correctly the fan consumption of my building.

Could anyone guide me how to achieve this? In designbuilder there was a multiplication factor that made everything much easier. I hope there is the same in here too.

thanks in advance!

Still not official way to do this, you should work on all floors.
Sometime I do on model with VRV/VRF system, each floor has it own system then I can multiply result, but having to separate sub energy meter for manualy multiply, It might cause error when rename submeter.
