Revision history [back]

We are looking at simulating a small house and are trying to determine if it meets adequate exposure diversity (AED) per Manual J, which is defined as:

A system has adequate exposure diversity if the peak-hour glass load for the entire conditioned space does not exceed the average glass load for the entire conditioned space by more than 30 percent.

So I have run the simulation in BEopt and have added the following variables in Energyplus, now with the hourly glass load, any advice on trying to process this?

OUTPUT:VARIABLE,
    living_1,                 !- Key Value
    Zone Windows Total Heat Gain Energy,    !- Variable Name
    Hourly;                   !- Reporting Frequency

OUTPUT:VARIABLE,
    living_1,                 !- Key Value
    Zone Windows Total Transmitted Solar Radiation Energy,    !- Variable Name
    Hourly;                   !- Reporting Frequency

OUTPUT:VARIABLE,
    living_1,                 !- Key Value
    Zone Windows Total Heat Loss Energy,    !- Variable Name
    Hourly;                   !- Reporting Frequency
