Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Problem in Sensible Cooling Rate

[Apple Chan <bsapplec@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Mike

Thanks very much for your reply.  The zone temperatures are identical in 
the two runs since only the glazing material was changed in each run.  In 
EnergyPlus, could I have an output showing the breakdown of the cooling 
rate components, e.g. cooling rate due to heat gain from concrete wall, 
that due to solar through window, that due to ventilation load, etc., so 
that I can trace the cause of this problem?

Thank you!
