Transpired Solar Collectors (TSC)

peter.bartley · Posts: 7

I am currently conducting a study of an industrial development and need to model a Transpired Solar Collector (Solar Air Heating).

I have previously used RETScreen for such purposes however I have found that SBEM 2010 now has the calculations for this technology built in - I know that IES and iSBEM now include this function but I am unable to find it in DesignBuilder?

Any guidance would be much appreciated - either regarding where this function is located within DesignBuilder or when it will be added?

Peter, at present we have not incorporated this functionality into our SBEM software and I am presently unable to find out the timescale we have for introducing it. However, we may be able to assist you in accessing this functionality (provided it's not for EPC or Building Regs). When you have a model ready to evaluate (the simpler, the better) then post a ticket on the Support Desk (fao me), attaching the model and details of what you want to do.
Regards
Andrew
