2018-04-10 03:55:57 -0500 marked best answer definition of District cooling, District Cooling:Facility and Heating Load

Sorry for the primary question, but I really cannot find the answer for that.

I have two output files:"Austin Energy Enduse Timeseries CSVExport" and "Zone Equipment Report". I have some questions about the definition/content of some terms.

(1) In "Austin Energy Enduse Timeseries CSVExport", what is district cooling("Cooling:DistrictCooling [kBtu]" )mean? I have three thermal zones in my model. This district heating includes the heating for all three zones? And does the district heating includes water heating?

(2)In "Austin Energy Enduse Timeseries CSVExport", what is the difference between "Cooling:DistrictCooling [kBtu]" and "District Cooling:Facility [kBtu]”?

(3) In "Zone Equipment Report", what is the definition of "Heating Loads" in "Zone Load Summary"?

I really need to figure out the definitions, Please help me :) Thanks in advance!

Sincerely,

Meiwen Zhou

Thanks for replying me! Then where(which report) I can find the heating energy for each zone?

The report is called "zone report". The unit of the number is "kBtu/ft2 per Run Period". If it is a design load(which is

I use ideal air loads. But if the zone load summary only shows sensible heating, the sum of the three zone heating shoul

Thanks for your quick answer!!!!! Really helpful. :)

2018-03-08 16:00:02 -0500 marked best answer transmittance values for different transmittance schedule name

Hello,

I create a shading surface to imitate tree shadow and I want to give the surface a transmittance value. I look at the document, it says" The name of a schedule of solar transmittance values from 0.0 to 1.0 for the shading surface". But in Openstudio, the choices of the name are: Large Office ClgSetp, Large Office Htgsetg, Medium Office ClgSetp, etc. image description

I wonder what are the transmittance values for each name? I cannot find this information anywhere.

Thanks for help in advance!
