That is Excellent news Andy,
Thanks a lot.

@ Prashant - I can be reached at parag.karanjkar@gmail.com.

If you are interested you can contact me there and I will discuss with you what I did a ...

Hello,

I have implemented de-humidifiers in a model for a design case. They are of the rehat coil type. In the base case, I remove the de-humidifiers and the rest of the HVAC system is exactly the ...

Hello,

The thickness values that you enter in the construction tab work with the properties like specific heat, density that you enter in the material data. This probably helps with the heat balan ...

Hi,

You can include / exclude a particular zone from simulation through the activity tab. However, it is not possible to create layers for visualization.

Since DB uses 3-D OpenGl based grpahics ...

Do you save the file before you close it.
It generally does save results along with the file.

Thanks a lot Steve ! :)

Hello,

I am trying out the new detailed HVAC in V3. I must say the breaking down of every system into supply side and demand side is brilliant. Makes it very easy to understand and design.

I w ...

Hey,

There is a way. Once you get the errors - Go back to the 'Edit' tab from the 'Simulation' tab.
Then on the header above, select the rightmost tab - 'Options'. Under Simulation Options, you w ...

Hello,

For any system to work, DesignBuilder will have to satisfy ALL THE CONDITIONS set on the system.
For example, take the case of cooling.

1) Internal Air temperature has to be greater t ...

Hi,

Could you please check the weather file that you have uploaded.
To do so - go to the Location tab and check Site Weather Data.. Check the longitude and latitude information that has been set ...

Hi,
I am attempting to model an evaporative cooling system. I can approximate it (not so accurate but good for judgment) using Simple HVAC.

I also have to model mixed mode system along with it. DB ...

Just to add,

I am currently assuming 20 degrees as the supply temperature since it is the WBT of the site on the design day.
At 20 degrees C, the saturation humidity ratio is 0.014. So for the s ...

Hello,

I am attempting to model an evaporative cooling system in DesignBuilder.
The geometry in concern is a simple one zone area of about 1500 sq ft. / 150 sq. m.

Now, I computed the ACH det ...

Hello,

You could request / switch ON the "surface heat transfer" output. By doing this, you will get an output of heat gains through every surface independently.

Study the heat-balance graph t ...

Hello,

I think the solar gains are because of the gap that is present between the shading blocks and the window surface.

If you observe the hourly maps, the solar gains and the heat gains thro ...
