Revision history [back]

Is there any easy way to get a breakdown of the heating and cooling loads from the exterior wall, roof, and floor components per zone? The only way which I can envision doing so right now is to find the surfaces of interest, then use the "Surface Average Face Conduction Heat Transfer Energy" output variable and lump the surfaces by type. Ultimately, what I am interested in is a load breakdown for heating and cooling into the components shown below, adding up to the total zone load which I would like on a monthly basis.

Total Zone Load = Window Load + Wall Load + Roof Load + Floor Load + Internal Loads + Infiltration + Ventilation

Thank you in advance for any insight that you can lend!

Is there any easy way to get a breakdown of the monthly cumulative heating and cooling loads heat transfer gains/losses (in terms of kWh) from the exterior wall, roof, and floor components per zone? The only way which I can envision doing so right now is to find the surfaces of interest, then use the "Surface Average Face Conduction Heat Transfer Energy" output variable and lump the surfaces by type. Ultimately, what I am interested in is a load breakdown for of heating and cooling heat transfer into the components shown below, adding up to the total zone load which I would like reported on a monthly basis.

Total Zone Load = Window Load + Heat Gain/Loss, Wall Load + Heat Gain/Loss, Roof Load + Heat, Floor Load + Heat Gain/Loss, Internal Loads + Infiltration + Heat Gain/Loss, Infiltration Heat Gain/Loss, Ventilation Heat Gain/Loss
