Yes, it would still be kBtu. You can just multiply it by 0.293 (1 kWh = 3.412 kBtu) to convert to kWh.

Hemant,
CFD menu is not available yet in the current beta release. I am quoting Steve here (from earlier pots in the forum). "The beta CFD module is currently with a small number of beta test sites a ...

Hannes,
Saturday is allowed but not saturdays.. That additional s at the end may be causing the error.

Teresa,
The probable cause of these errors is use of different version of E+. You may be creating idf file in older version of E+ and trying to run it in Ver 2.2 without transitioning. Additional fi ...

We have not noticed this issue. Perhaps using "Clear to Default" and then selecting the glazing again helps. If it does not work, you can send the model for us to look at..

Alice,
As Andy mentioned earlier coefficients cannot be used for defining the gas mixture. E+ uses separate object (NOT the COEFFICIENTS) to define the gas mixture. DesignBuilder will introduce the ...

Alice,
I would recommend not to use the values you listed. You would be better off using just pure Argon. It looks like W5 does not store the coefficients correctly in gas table. It does calculate th ...

You are right, Florent. My apologies for not cross checking it. It looks like there is a glitch in reporting the coefficients for the mixtures in WINDOW5. I will clarify with LBNL and get back to you ...

Alice,

You can use WINDOW 5 program, a freely available software ( windows.lbl.gov), to calculate the gas mixtures. For 90% Argon and 10% air mixture the properties are as follows:

Name Arg 90% ...

Max,
The ASHRAE templates are planned for ver 2.0/post ver 2.0. That time you could use the templates for LEED certification purposes..

Carlos,
I agree current version of DB does not allow that option. This option would be included in near future. In the meantime you would need to export idf file and define the set point temperatur ...

Carlos,

The HVAC operation is used for defining your setpoint temperatures. The following article may help in understanding the setpoint temperature definition in DB.

Carlos,
You can define the schedule for heating/cooling under the HVAC tab. You would need to check heating/cooling on..

Mike,
It looks like the problem occurs when you export your idf file using older version, e.g. in your case 2.1... It works fine if you export using the recommended E+ version (ver 2.2) i.e. it does ...

Hi,
Yes, you can get data in /area units. Just check Normalise on under the display options when your simulations are complete.
