2021-08-03 10:05:31 -0500 marked best answer Quick Tips to create geometry in Open Studio

Hello everyone,

I am working on a 25 storey building and looking to model it using the Open Studi Sketchup Plugin. I Used 'create spaces from Diagrams' to create the 3D Model, but I have to assign two different types of glazing on each facade. How can I do that without using WWR script? Can I use floor multipliers? I want to avoid the monotonous work. Any suggestions on how I can do that?

Or If I use an exsisting model (for eg. DOE prototype building), how to modify the number of floors?

Thanks

2020-09-29 01:49:14 -0500 marked best answer Equipment not sizing

I am using the DOE prototype large office model (A90.1 2013) and changing just the glass alone to understand the HVAC sizing and energy impact with switching to different glass types. I see that the equipment sizes especially the Chiller and the cooling tower remains the same. Maybe am I missing something? or since the prototype model has a data center in the basement floor, glazing is having no impact?

Why is there no savings (HVAC) even when compared to a single pane glass? I have attached the E+ files(V8.9) for your reference- https://drive.google.com/drive/folder...

Thanks
