2015-01-12 06:14:16 -0500 commented answer Define summer/winter and day/night periods

I was looking for simulate it during several days, lets say summer period, but only the nighttime hours...

I'm evaluating the potential of natural ventilation for those periods, so if I simulate only with a global RunPeriod (for the entire year) the result will not be so good it could be, I guess.

Thank you!

Thank you for your answer. Regarding specifying the RunPeriod days I manage to do it; for hours of the day I still can't do it... If anyone knows it I would appreciate it!

Hello everyone.

I would like to know how can I simulate my model for a specific period of time: for instance during the summer period and only for night hours.

I'm using Ideal Air Loads and a default schedule for Medium Office by the way.

Thank you,

Pedro

Thank you! I made it :)

Now I have another question: the energy I'm getting is the District Heating (and Cooling) Consumption in Millions Btu. Is this energy the final building needs? Or do I have to convert it with a factor?

Thank you!

Hello,

I'm trying to modelling a simple house, with only one space (and one thermal zone). But every time I run my model I get these warnings:

* Warning * SetUpZoneSizingArrays: Requested Sizing for Zone="THERMAL ZONE 1", Zone has no thermostat (ref: ZoneControl:Thermostat, et al) * Warning * Calculated design cooling load for zone=THERMAL ZONE 1 is zero. * ~~~ * Check Sizing:Zone and ZoneControl:Thermostat inputs. * Warning * Calculated design heating load for zone=THERMAL ZONE 1 is zero. * ~~~ * Check Sizing:Zone and ZoneControl:Thermostat inputs.

I'm using IDEAL AIR LOADS for my thermal zone (only).

What can I do to get my heating and cooling loads?

Thank you very much!
