I dont know to use the energyPlus very well, but this is so helpful. Thank you so much :)

OpenStudio has Zone Air System Sensible Cooling energy and Zone Air System Sensible Heating energy. Are these ok??? i am not sure if i can take these to compare.....

Openstudio. But I would like to know, if it is possible to take results for cooling and heating load per month for one zone. I dont care if i have to run all zones. I want these results for a specific zone.

I have design a office building with a lot of zones. I would like to simulate only one zone and to take results for cooling and heating load per month.

is that possible?

Thanks in advance

I try it and with different VRF system for each thermal zone , without any change

I set it already... I don't know where is the problem

Hello.

I used the openstudio to modeling an office building. At this building I have 5 thermal zone. I want to set a VRF system. My question is "Must I set one VRF system for each thermal zone?" Because I want different thermostat to each zone... At my first effort, I set one VRF system and 5 terminals, but I had this error ...

For autosizing of ZoneHVAC:TerminalUnit:VariableRefrigerantFlow ZONE HVAC TERMINAL UNIT VARIABLE REFRIGERANT FLOW, a zone sizing run must be done. * ~~~ * No "Sizing:Zone" objects were entered. * Fatal * Program terminates due to previously shown condition(s). ...Summary of Errors that led to program termination: .....

I don't know If I have to change some data at "EDIT"....

I would appreciate any help. Thanks in advance

I am not an architect and Ι trying to learn the google sketchup on my own. If I want to design the columns and beams, how can this be done? And if this will be, how I will design the walls with the correct thickness;

I just want to know if the different in the results, it will be huge without columns and beams?

Hello.

My question is about openstudio. if I have two different types of external walls how can I "declare" to the construction set? Should I make two sets? if I make two sets which of the two will declare after the program?

Thank you

Hello, The subject of my thesis has to do with this program. I started designing the building in the google sketchup and my question is how to design the columns and beams? all the videos I've seen there are no columns and beams, only walls. If I design the building with only the walls will affect the results in terms of energy?

I hope I was clear. for any clarification on my question, let me know

Thanks in advance.
