2022-02-22 17:42:20 -0500 marked best answer Openfoam wind pressure coefficients values with Openstudio?

I would like to integrate OpenFoam's wind pressure coefficients values on the building surface with my Openstudio energy model to accurately calculate the building surfaces' temperatures. Is there a way to do that?

Thanks!

I'm experimenting with energy modeling using Openstudio through Honeybee. I modeled a building and I used the ideal air load system. I got some unmet heating and cooling hours. Shouldn't an ideal air load system yield 0 unmet heating and cooling hours considering it is ideal (energy coming in the zone = energy going out of the zone)? Am I misunderstanding something here!

2018-04-24 00:08:41 -0500 marked best answer Where is evalglare located in the Linux system

So, I know a little about Linux, I recently installed Radiance on Ubuntu system (Which is only a command line bash for windows 10). I used Optics2rad script that is located in /usr/bin. I'd like to use evalglare but I can't seem to find it in /usr/bin. So where could it be?

Update I followed Greg's instrudtions, in the comments below). I added /usr/local/radiance/bin to my PATH, and /usr/local/radiance/lib to RAYPATH. My environment (in etc) file contains the following:

PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/usr/local/radiance/bin"
RAYPATH ="/usr/local/radiance/lib"

However, When I try to use evalglare I get the "command not found" error message. So I ran echo $PATH, my /usr/local/radiance/lib didn't show up in the list, also I ran echo "$RAYPATH" and I got an empty line command. Any ideas?

Also, another weird problem I'm having, I can't see any .HDR files that are in mnt/c/users/name/Desktop!!!!!!

2018-04-17 12:34:40 -0500 marked best answer Radiance material for reflective glazing

Radiance glass material doesn't take into account the reflectivity of glazing. However, I'm interested in studying the effect of reflective glazing on occupants' visual comfort (glare) in surrounding areas, so reflectance of glass is a required input in this case. How would I define a radiance material for the glazing highlighted in the picture below (the second one, named " Silver 50/30")? it has a reflectance value = 0.39 image description
