Hi all,

I am using Honeybee to perform the e+ simulation. I originally performed the simulations on annual basis but now I need to extract the hourly electricity demand and hence I need to rerun the simulations on hourly basis. I found that the simulation time increases a lot and the result file size becomes enormous, especially the .eso and .sql file. May I ask

1) I thought that simulations, no matter which timestep is chosen, are ran on a hourly basis, so the simulation time shouldn't be that different. Am I totally wrong? 2) What is the contributor to such a mega size of .eso and .sql file? 3) Is there any solution if I just want to extract the hourly electricity demand and PV generation?

Thanks a lot.

2019-05-13 11:44:13 -0500 marked best answer Default cooling system settings

I am a new user of E+. I performed some simulations (using the default setting for most items) and noticed that the default cooling system is district cooling system. I would like to ask

1) how can I check the settings, e.g. COP, of the district cooling system? Can I check the settings by using IDF editor? 2) How can i change to other systems?

Thanks.
