2016-07-31 16:32:00 -0500 asked a question high pressure sodium lights fraction radiant, visible, return air values?

I am using a high pressure sodium lights for modeling a grow room. I know the energy per space floor area value but couldn't really find values for fraction radiant, visible and return air. Do I need these values to represent the kind of lighting that I am using or just the energy density is enough? And where will I find these values?

osm file googledrive locations: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B3a...

the heating and cooling loads while using a hvac system should be higher than ideal air loads system or should it be other way around?

@Julien Marrec, I am currently using natural gas as heating unit for rooftop hvac. Can you send me your email Id so that I can email you my osm file. Thanks

Thanks Julien, I am new to this EMS but still I will try once with this.

I don't know if this question is asked before or not, I tried searching it but couldn't find the exact answer. I am modelling a single zone room using an ideal air loads system. Also tried using a actual hvac system to the same zone using Rooftop unit. Why are the annual heating/cooling loads using a hvac system less than the ideal air load system?( for eg. with ideal air loads district heating load 7.8 Mbtu and for system using rooftop unit 2.7 Mbtu). why a huge difference?

thanks,

I am modelling a greenhouse and I need to give 2 different R-values for roofs. I have a roof with R2.6 during day and same with R4.6 during night. Can I do this in openstudio?

I am new to open studio. Is there a option in BCL for polycarbonate roof?

2016-07-12 12:59:30 -0500 asked a question greenhouse modelling

I am new to openstudio, this is my first project in OS.

  1. what is the best space type that I can assign to model a small greenhouse(12'X24')?
  2. Is there any provision in OS to add polycarbonate sheet to roof in BCL. Is skylight option best for polycarbonate sheet or just add a roof and give properties similar to polycarbonate sheet?
  3. which HVAC system is similar to ground to air heat transfer system? In ground source heat pump can I change heat transfer source from water to air?
