image description

This is openstudio template for infiltration Quarter on, i wonder why the infiltration rate is 1 during unoccupied hours ..Does that mean that it's more of an open space where 100% of the outside air is being infiltrated to the office? and the reason why the infiltration changes during occupied hour is mainly due to using HVAC system and changing the pressure and temperature. thanks

only run the simulation or show simulation options are available. the previous version had the tree option from which i can know more details about my error so i can solve them Show Simulation

2017-02-15 21:46:11 -0500 commented answer Tilt Angle and shape of Add Rooftop PV measure in Openstudio

thanks, now i understand how it works..i hope that update can happen soon so i can change the PV angle or make it automatically movable to get as much solar radiation as it can.

2017-02-15 03:35:48 -0500 asked a question Tilt Angle and shape of Add Rooftop PV measure in Openstudio

i'm having a school assignment in which i need to add ov to my model. I had a previous problem in calculating the Shading effect of solar cells but i figured out that there is a new Osm Measure Add Rooftop PV that gets me both the energy generated and the shading effect on thermal loads but i still have a problem understanding the shape of the used system as i'm using a Model that has a roof of both flat and inclined spaces. i do input the percentage of the roof to be covered by solar panels but does that include both inclined and flat or flat alone. also are the panels fixed with an angle on the roof or it's angle is zero " same as the roof components". can i change it's angle ? also can i still add more pv on the shading system, i found an Energyplus measure that does that Add Simple PV to Specified Shading Surfaces but i can't use both measure same time. please share your thoughts with me on this issue

2017-02-13 09:30:29 -0500 commented answer Roof insulation ↑ cooling loads ↑ why ? OpenStudio

thank you , i do understand that concept and i wanted to test that by two different steps, the first one was to increase the level of insulation for the wall and that actually reduced the cooling load not increased it " i expected both would have a similar pattern". the second step was to increase the area of the skylight on the roof to check if also that will decrease the cooling load but it didn't, in fact it did only for 1% skylight roof ratio but increasing the skylight to 2% or 3% increased cooling loads. also the range used for R5.6 " no insulation" - R16 is not very high level.

2017-02-13 07:30:28 -0500 edited question Roof insulation ↑ cooling loads ↑ why ? OpenStudio

i'm doing a school assignment to study the impact of roof insulation on Cooling loads and i'm getting more loads when i apply higher R insulation layer and i don't understand why !!
