DesignBuilder simulation-time

Hi All,

How much time do you expect a simulation (15,000 sf, 20 zone, 16 HVAC systems, 6 time step/hour) would take in DesignBuilder? A relatively simple building...

I have a configuration that is slightly below the requirements https://support.designbuilder.co.uk/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/25/0/hardware-requirements&Itemid=100

and are wondering how much improvement in simulation time I could expect if I would upgrade the machine.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thank you
