Single day simulation data

DBarreraG · Posts: 13

Hi everybody! I'm new in this forum but I'm happy I've got my license to use DB. Any way I just want to ask how can I establish or review input data such as relative humidity or wind speed and direction when I run a simulation for one specific day? I can't find it, DB is a little diferent to E+, which is the tool I had been using.

Thanks in advanced.

Hi David, welcome to the forum!

In simulations, you establish the site weather data by means of the weather file, at site level (Location > Simulation Weather Data > Hourly weather data). And you can review this data (in graph, grid or table format) running a simulation at site level for the entire year or for specific periods (Display options > General > Data > Days per page). Visualizing the data in grid format, you can export it as a CSV spreadsheet file (Tools > Export data).

I hope this helps,

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 > Hourly weather data) and convert the .epw file to a 'comma separated values' file. Then you can open the converted file within Excel and review the entire data.

Best regards,

Arturo

Hi David,

Just to add to Arturo's very comprehensive response that although you cannot review RH data directly, you can review dew-point temperatures from DB.

Regards,

Steve
