They are not manual, but this set of output variables provides results that are useful for understanding what is driving heat transfer in the zone air balance.

  • Zone Air Heat Balance Internal Convective Heat Gain Rate [W]
  • Zone Air Heat Balance Surface Convection Rate [W]
  • Zone Air Heat Balance Interzone Air Transfer Rate [W]
  • Zone Air Heat Balance Outdoor Air Transfer Rate [W]
  • Zone Air Heat Balance System Air Transfer Rate [W]
  • Zone Air Heat Balance System Convective Heat Gain Rate [W]
  • Zone Air Heat Balance Air Energy Storage Rate [W]
  • Zone Air Heat Balance Deviation Rate [W]

This output variable is probably the simplest way to compare different opaque surfaces (of relatively lightweight contruction).

  • Surface Average Face Conduction Heat Transfer Rate per Area [W/m2]
