QUESTIONS TO ASK Mr.

P C THOMAS

1. how to model a curvature ow is an arc,not a semicircle

2. how to view what controls are taking place for a given simulation run
3. how to modify the controller gains(proportional gain, integral gain, PID)
4. how to model one AHU with fixed inlet CHW temp
5. how to export the energy data into csv file
6. how to accurately define a setpoint temp? and where to set it? because it does
not work at AHU level. how to define the setpoint for DETAILED HVAC tab? Which
setpoint manager to use for SETpoint control?
7. how to simulate door opennings (exact numbers per hour or at set durations)
8. how to define varying occupancy?
9. how to set multiple setpoints for annual simulation? different setpoint every
month/season
10. how to set varying setpoint as per outdoor conditions?
11. how to optimise window-wall ratio using optimisation toolbar
12. which parameters can be optimised using optimisation toolbar
13. optimisation toolbar, when clicked, leads the system to hang, pls help
14. how to seal-off outdoor air from entering the zone? i know how to do for
windows and doors, but i do not know how to control opennings and infiltration +
mechanical ventilation.
15. why is it showing in air changes per hour? what is difference between natural
ventilation, mechanical ventilation and infiltration? why are they specified in air
changes per hour? how are they calculated? does it depend on wind? what is the wind
template? is it available in the weather file?
16. how can we input a fresh weather file into the simulation environment?
17. the weather file, when inputted from Onebuilding.org still shows 2002 in the
simulation output.
18. how to maximize the range for the temperatures so that we can accurately see
the controls taking place?
19. how to also show on the graph output, the On-Off status of AHU,
20. how to control the CHW flow rates? is in terms of %openning or continuous
control?
21.
