PostForum: EnergyPlus Simulation   Posted: Fri Sep 19, 2008 4:04 pm   Subject: mechanical ventilation: simulation problems
Hello,

If I well understand, the model works fine before you set a mechanical ventilation in a zone and no more after.

Could you tell me what DesignBuilder version you're using?
And is it possi ...

Hello,

There is no reason to add component blocks in the void.

If you've got a 'Intersection' error message it is raised because the way you draw your block has at least a very little part into ...

I can't help you with US component but I may answer your second question.

Do you mean you want to create new materials and construction?
If yes, you don't have to edit them outside of DesignBuilde ...

Hello Miguel,

Some ideas:
* In heat balance graph, the wall curve will show you when walls emit heat/cool because it gives you heat transfer from wall inside face to zone.
You should see a time l ...

Hi Anna,

I suggest you to create a building with a zone per flat. Unless you have specific constraints.

Heating system are always zone level defined in HVAC Simple mode. In HVAC Compact option, ...

Thanks Andrew I should have add what you explain.

In addition if any user he's interested in.
Even if E+ can not, I think, modeled tall zone temperature gradient. It has Room Air Model to predict ...

Hello James,

Your model run well with my DB (1.6) so you may update your own to solve the problem.

I stay tuned if you meet problem again.

Teresa,

I run your model on my computer with v1.6 and fortunately don't experience a crash.

If you reproduce this problem, could you install the last stable release or beta?

Hello,

The CVC templates are only a set of options and coefficient (like the COP). Data are fitted to the template label you read.

Behind the scene you've got nothing in HVAC Simple mode (E+ Pur ...

Hi,

Occupation:
This is because DesignBuilder display sensible gains only. E+ divide metabolic rate between sensible and latent gains depending from zone temperature and %HR.
Because you're t° is ...

Hi,

Your explanations are clear, thank you!

Modeling this air flow in the atrium need a CFD simulation.

I know EnergyPlus has some capabilities to simulate room air stratification but you don ...
