[esp-r] A new ESP-r tutorial available on the ESRU web site.

[Jon Hand]

A new 'do-it-right-the-first-time'  tutorial on how to plan and add
roof spaces to ESP-r models has been uploaded to the 
ESP-r web site.  Look in the publications page under user
manuals.

Most users would think roof spaces are just tedious. The 16 page 
document presents several approaches to speed their creation
and limit errors.  

And roof spaces can be rather more complex in terms of form and 
construction and heat (and air) flow paths than the occupied spaces 
they cover.  To ensure that your model includes sufficient detail (and
no more detail than necessary) the tutorial discusses the 
translation of drawing details into models of appropriate resolution 
for a range of performance questions.  This part of  the tutorial would 
be of interest to users of other simulation tools. 

A variant of this document will be included as a chapter in the
next version of the ESP-r Cookbook.
