Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Architecture and Passive solar systems

[Drury.Crawley@xxxxxxxxxx]

Yes, you can use EnergyPlus to simulate passive and active solar systems.
There are example passive solar inputs in the ExampleFiles directory.
Would suggest starting by looking at:
      GeometryTest (has a sunspace)
      MovableExtInsulationSimple
      PassiveTrombeWall

      Available next week in the 1.2.2 release will be CrossVent_1Zone  and
Transpired Collector

Dear all,

With Energy+ can I simulate buildings with different kind of passive solar
systems such as direct gain (window), Trombe wall, sun space and then
understand the amount of solar energy that they receive?
I want to understand which one of passive solar systems work better in
houses in the cold region of Iran and I want to know: can I do it with
Energy+?
If yes what thing can help me?

Thank you,
Best wishes,
