OK I will try...thank you very much!

E+ contains a small dataset of g-functions (<E+ install dir>/DataSets/GLHERefData.idf) that you may be able to use that closely meets the needs of your building. If you need something more specific, you'll have to figure out a way to generate a more specific g-function (http://www.hvac.okstate.edu/research/Documents/ASHRAE/Yavuzturk_Spitler_99.html).On Fri, Nov 1, 2013 at 10:33 AM, <silvia1-@...> wrote:Hi, I'm a student and I don't have GSHE-Pro but I need a G-function for my research on energy efficiency measures and I want ask if someone can generate for me a G-function specific for my building?
