BeOpt parametric analysis on residence with no AC vs. same with retrofits
Hello I am trying to run my first model and would like to compare the following
1) Temperatures in a home with a given construction in a given location but with no AC system 2) Temperatures in that home once you've added certain retrofits that are available in BeOpt such as window awnings and white roof.
I have seen a demo that shows output in temperatures in Dataviewer that would work well for me. For example, being able to say that there were X number of hours over 80º F in the house before the retrofits, and X number afterward, would be useful. But when I try to run an analysis on a building without a heating or cooling system, I understand that I am not inputting data necessary for the run. (I am not interested in energy savings for the purpose of this project, just indoor temperatures.)
Should I pretend that there is AC in the building for the purpose of the run?
Can we also get humidity and radiant temperature to allow calculation of thermal comfort and heat stress?
