However in some cases (I don't know what kind of analysis are you developing), you could try to use component blocks, with a certain transmittance value, to simulate shading devices.

Please refer ...

As far as I know, at present DesignBuilder requires components in order to enter this type of data. So you have to create a window shading component (if there is no one that corresponds to y ...

Kokett,

Are you using 1-Air temperature control type? (Model options > Simulations > Calculation options)

Hi Andfranz,

This is a big topic. Remember that DesignBuilder uses epw weather data files, which contain data, hour by hour, for a whole year.

My advice, in first place, is that you should look ...

Andfranz,

It is the direct solar radiation measured over a surface perpendicular to solar rays.

I hope this helps.

Arda,

At the moment, it is not possible. However, you can simulate sidefins and overhangs with component blocks, which are quite flexible. Those elements also can be used for shading, reflection an ...

Filip,

At the moment, as far as I know, it is not possible to remove those holes, as they are necessary for generate correct geometry data. You could see also this DB forum topic:

Jun,

You can define a 7/12 operation schedule, or a compact one. In the first option, you can previously establish daily operation profiles, and assign different profiles for different months. Abou ...

Rahmi,

It is possible to visualize ac/h rates in 1-All or 5-Fabric and ventilation data options, if 'Total fresh air' is active in the Detailed Display Options panel (into Heat gain category). This ...

David,

I think this gets you a greater control level, without very complex scheduling. For example, if you schedule the door operation from 7:00 to 19:00 hrs, and specify % Time door is open as 10% ...

David,

Wind pressure coefficients are used with calculated natural ventilation. You can find more information about this topic in Template Data > Wind Pressure Coefficient Templates, in the help ...

David,

I forgot to comment that, as far as I know, DesignBuilder doesn't display relative humidity input data for the site. However, you can open the Weather Data Analysis dialogue (Tools > Hour ...
