ÂHi,
I am running E+(ver 8.4) simulation on a building with
1. Building area: 117 sqm
2. Conditioned volume: 360 m3
3. PCM on roof: 90 sqm
4. Number of surfaces: 90
5. Conduction finite difference method, so 20 timesteps
6. Each construction has some 7-8 layers
6. Laptop with 4 cores
Even for 1-month runtime it's taking more than 90 mins. Can anyone suggest how can I reduce simulation time. I know reducing the layers in construction is one, but I want to keep that solution the last one.
