Hi, I edited a weather file(.epw) using the elements software and the following error appears when I tried loading it back into Design-Builder.

"Error Reading header" and the weather file could not be loaded. Can you guide me with this issue?

Hey,

I would like to understand few warnings in the simulations under error file.

Can someone let me know do I add the "Output : Diagnostic" to the idf editor and is it possible to integrate it in the Design builder.

link text Hey, I'm sorry for not uploading a clear picture, I hope this image has more clarity.

2020-06-11 04:49:38 -0500 marked best answer Increasing earth tube radius increases the supply temperature ?

Hello,

We are modelling earth tube for a project and we would like to know is it possible to visualize the velocity of the air passing through the tube.

With volume flow rate and the radius of the pipe it is possible to guess the velocity But, we need to know the how the velo city is simulated to debug few errors.

Because I believe increasing the size of the tube reduces the velocity of the air for a constant supply which in turn supplies much colder/heated air then smaller radius with increased velocity.

2020-06-09 08:14:29 -0500 marked best answer Earth tube with Heat recovery in E+ or Design builder

Hey Team,

We are working with the Earth tube system as the major source of air intake into the building. But, I believe the earth tube works as a standalone system in the E+.

Is it possible to integrate it with the Heat recovery, before supplying the air into the zones ?

Please take a look at the attachment for the reference.
