[Bldg-sim] LBNL Window 6 data tranfer

[Robin Mitchell]

Marc –

 

WINDOW 6 stores it’s data in an Access database. The default database for
the program is called W6.mdb – where it is stored by default is based on
your operating system (see our Knowledge Base article about this:
http://windows.lbl.gov/software/Window7VistaIssues.html

 

So if you want to put the WINDOW 6 database on another computer, just make a
copy of the W6.mdb file, put it on the 2nd computer, and then reference it
from the WINDOW program. If it is in the default directory (see the
Knowledge Base article above), WINDOW 6 will find it automatically. If it is
not in the default directory, then you can use the File/Open menu to browse
to the database file and open it that way.

 

The database can have any name you want it to, just make sure to keep the
MDB extension. You could make copies of files and rename them, or you can do
File/Save As from within WINDOW and the program will make a copy with the
new name that you give it and put it in the location where you have
specified.

 

You can also export “Project Databases” which make new MDB files that have
only data referenced by the windows or glazing systems you have defined,
which makes a much smaller database (you don’t end up having the entire
Glass Library with all the spectral data in it for glass layers that you are
not using in your calculations). How to make a Project Database is described
on our Knowledge Base:

http://windows.lbl.gov/software/window/FAQ/ProjectDB.htm

 

Let me know if you have any more WINDOW questions.

Hi,

 

Is there anybody who knows how to transfer Window 6 datas from one computer
to another.  Is there any data file created by the software?  If so, what is
this data file?

 

Regards,

Objet : [Bldg-sim] Fan Power and number of fans in the proposed and baseline
design

 

Hello all,

 

I model a residential building with dwelling units and a multipurpose space
(92000 ft2) . It has a schedule  24/7 hour of operation. Proposed design has
2 DOAS unit with 2 AHUs and fan powered boxes. Each unit has it's own FPB.
The baseline design is PTAC.  My proposed design has Forward curved with VFD
Main, return, optional, and exhaust fans. Fan power VAV fans are used as
secondary fans. My Baseline design has FC with VFD  return, optional,
exhaust fans. Main fan is constant volume FC fan.  I use 90.1-2004 standard
for the energy model.

My question is if I have to include FPB from the proposed design for energy
calculations in the baseline design or I have to exclude them from the
proposed design. May be I am doing right and I have to count them in the
proposed design only.

Now my fan power is much higher in the proposed design than in the baseline
design

Please, advise. 

Thank you,


Genia Gorbachinsky
