2018-10-22 20:55:54 -0500 marked best answer for radiant ceiling, how to define the material filled in the gap of cooling tubes?

I know how to define the 'construction:internal source' for radiant cooling in E+, it's like a sandwich, layer 1 - cooling tube - layer 2. But what if the gap between cooling tubes are filled with a certain material, for instance, concrete? how to define this situation?

As it's the year 2018, does OpenStudio of latest version support 'single cooling set point' now?

2017-12-04 00:45:39 -0500 marked best answer [EP]How to set up humidity gain from infiltration or seepage for underground buildings

For underground buildings, usually the effect of humidity gain per hour from infiltration or seepage should be considered. However, I cannot find such set up in either open studio or energy plus. Anyone knows how to set up this kind of internal gain in either open studio or energy plus?

Please advise if any. Thanks a lot.

2017-11-30 20:16:26 -0500 marked best answer Total cooling load in E+

How to calculate the total cooling load in EnergyPlus while the HVAC system is defined? What are the output variables required for the calculation of total cooling load? In my case, I take the output:variable "Cooling coil total cooling energy" as the total cooling load, is it correct?

2017-11-29 22:40:27 -0500 marked best answer How to calculate the heat flux from boundaries in E+

In my case, the building is located underground and surrounded by rocks. The question is how to calculate the heat flux from boundaries or the walls into the building. What kind of output variables should I get from the EP results?
