Instructions
|
|
1. Undertake a comfort analysis. |
Choose the Indoor quality menu option and undertake a Comfort analysis. Explore the available comfort indices and influencing parameters. |
| 2. Display energy balances. | Use a results database generated from a simulation with the save level set at 4 (i.e. the highest level). From the Enquire about menu, explore the zone and surface energy balance outputs. These can be useful when investigating the cause of particular problems. |
|
3. Display intra-constructional temperatures. |
An intra-construction temperature profile can be displayed for any construction and over any time period. The internal construction state may then be linked to interstitial condensation potential. |
|
4. Tabulate results and save to a file for later access by an external analysis and display application. |
Some menus allow you to redirect the output to a file (by selecting the toggle item Output >>). A non-ESP-r application such as xmgrace may then be used to further process the data in this file. |
