Good day,
I have imported a GBXML file from DesignBuilder into IESVE to simulate building performance results through vista pro, such as air temperature and other parameters. I included the solar reflectance and SRI in the roof properties, but after running the simulation, the results did not change. How can I solve this issue?
Thank you.
You'll need to provide more information such as screenshots to show where you're editing this information in order to get any useful feedback here. Editing these parameters for a construction would be here:
From IESVE's help site.
VistaPro is a results viewing application. I don't think that 'solar reflectance' for a surface is a variable itself, but you can review conduction through a roof surface to study the impact of such a change. Changing solar reflectance isn't guaranteed to have a noticeable impact on overall energy use, although that's dependent on many, many factors.
Based on what you said, importing a gbXML file from another software isn't nearly enough to expect any kind of useful results in any other simulation software, including IESVE.
