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? |

Hi,
