[EnergyPlus_Support] Fast request about Designbuilder.

[Desalegn Alebel Aragaw <d_aragaw@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear all,

I am trying to simulate a G-7 building which is located in Panama. My aim is to optimize the energy and environmental performance of the specified office building using DesignBuilder-EnergyPlus dynamic simulation only for the outside conditions of building without considering the internal structure of the building. . Here are my concern that i look for. 

1. Simulate and diagnosis of the actual building

2. Approach, develop and simulate the specific proposals for improvement

3. Simulating the final improved building.

Since i am new for this software, please try to give me your valuable advice so as to make it very recently?

Hearing from you soonest!

Regards,

Desu

David -- Thank you for your response.

By "outside pressure node", are you referring to creating an External Node (under AirflowNetwork:MultiZone) for each window?

I understand that EnergyPlus does not like to do bi-directional flow through horizontal openings (E+ In/Output Reference, p.939) so I figured to try subdividing the larger windows into multiple horizontal stacking windows. Doing so (theoretically) each window could have a uni-directional airflow, either in or out of the zone.

Using this methodology my model now consists of two window groups, each with five horizontal windows stacked above one another.

Thoughts?

Cheers -- James
