Theoretically speaking (meaning away from reality) you would grab your total energy needs in Watts and divide them by 36

Sorry for taking so long to reply, I thought I would receive an email and I was reading on all other people questions... It is right there, but maybe it is a specific file issue?

I can send you the file (don´t exactly know how). The strange thing is that I can do that change in a 32b system, but the the file gets crazy. Is there a difference also in the .osm file between 32 and 64b versions?

Same goes for OpenStudio 1.7.0 Used it now, started working after placing the OpenStudio.rb file and directory to the %appdata% directory

2015-03-28 04:24:48 -0500 answered a question export revit model to skechup

@Yan, I export gbxml from Revit to Ecotect, and then from Ecotect to OpenStudio using .idf (that must be upgraded) Why? I have Revit2012 and funny things go along in the gbxml, so I clean them up in Ecotect (when you import, you can filter what goes where), and associate to thermal or shading zones. Next I click on it and use EP-launch to upgrade from idf 3.0 to 8.2, and then I open in OpenStudio.

Gap between floors: The gap can be solved saying that the roof floor has an alternate construction in the ceiling, just pay attention to making the same materials in the oposite order. Then the air space between them will only exist in your eyes, some experts told me some time ago (I'm an architect, I must believe the guys I work with.Hope it helps.

2015-03-27 11:24:43 -0500 asked a question "Peak Flow Rate" values do not "stick" after changed

Hello all

I´m trying to insert 80 liters per day DHW (domestic hot water) consumption (Portuguese regulation stuff, OpenStudio 1.6.0, E+ 8.2)

I am trying to change the peak flow rate on the shower and sink (2x) to 0.000111 x 60s x 60mn, and this would go up to 79.9 liters (In OpenStudio it is located under Loads / Water Use Consumption / Water Fixtures / peak flow rate)

Yes, I saw the video on the water heating systems, it works, but actually the value in "Peak Flow Rate" does not "stick" there, and a newly created one stays at zero.

I tried in another computer and the issue persists: is it only me or this model? I tried altering in Energyplus 8.2, which is easy, but when I import I loose the corrected values, as the systems are lost.

Can someone give it a try to check if it is a bug before reporting? Or any alternatives to make it work?

Thanks in advance.
