[EnergyPlus_Support] cooling load3

["neslihanturkmenoglu" <neslihanturkmenoglu@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi I couldn't get answer to my questions. I hope someone helps me now.

I have problem with understanding the meaning of load and gain reports
(purchased air-natural ventilation),

In E+ for different simulations with different types of shading 
devices, I got 
-Zone Window Heat Loss,gain 
-Surface Int Convection Heat Rate
-AirflowNetwork Infiltration Sensible Gain Rate reports to compare 
the effects of shading devices on these 3 gain components.

My aim was to see these three gains  amount in total gains of zone 
one  by one and altogether. But I couldn't find zone total gains 
report. So I thought I could use purchased air sensible cooling rate 
or purchased air total cooling rate(now I am not sure).
For some hours purchased air total cooling rate is little but gains 
are high. For example at 8.00 in the morning 
zone window heat gain is 591.4 W, loss is 0.0
Surface Int Convection Heat Rate(by summing all surface's results)
184.9 W
Airflow network infiltration sensible gain 0, loss 76 W
Purchased air total cooling rate is 6.7 W and Purchased sensible 
cooling rate is 2.9 W
I haven't done a load calculation before and I am not able to comment 
on results.

I want to learn if
-Zone Window Heat Loss,gain 
-Surface Int Convection Heat Rate
-AirflowNetwork Infiltration Sensible Gain Rate reports are sensible 
gains.

Do purchased air sensible cooling rate and total cooling rate mean 
loads as I think or not? If they are loads do they contain the loads 
of Zone Window Heat Loss,gain 
-Surface Int Convection Heat Rate
-AirflowNetwork Infiltration Sensible Gain Rate

Is it logical to divide these to purchased air sensible cooling rate?
If it is, is it normal to get values over 1 when I divide gain to 
load.


I hope I am clear now
I  really really need help 
thank you very much
