[EnergyPlus_Support] Time of runs

Hi everybody,
   
  I am running a simulation of a 3 storey building heavily glazed with 107 zones. The simulation is taking too much time to run. I've tested the debug with 2 days only + the 2 design days and it took me around 10hs to run it. 

  My settings are: 
  1) minimal shading - but I'll need to change it to full
  2) 25 warm up days - but I think I can reduce this one
  3) 6 time steps in a hour
  4) 14 periods of shading calculation - but I'd like to have less days if possible due to the heavily glazed facade
   
  Can anybody give me a light about how can I reduce the calculation time so that I can run a whole year? My next try is going to be less time steps and less warm up days but full shading.
   
  Thanks in advance for the help!
   
  Best regards
   
  Clarice
