[esp-r] Scaling up my Model

[Ian McCall]

Hello ESP-r Community,

Hence the last note I have looked into the scaling feature of ESP-r. I have 
successfully  followed the steps outlined in chapter 6 of the ESP-r Cookbook 
(version  Nov 2008). I have created a weather file for my city (Nantes) and 
selected the  typical weeks for the winter1, spring, summer, fall and winter2. I 
have  updated the "climatelist" etc... but then the chapter in ESP-r Cookbook  
Chapter 6 just stops and does not describe how execute simulation using the 5 
ideal weeks / scaling option.  Is this an automatic scaling option or do I have 
to run the simulation 5 times with each respective "ideal week" and then 
self-scale the results?  Any ideas?

Cheers,

Ian

Hello ESP-r, 

I am looking for all the information possible related to scaling up a model. The 

cookbook states that scaling up skills and working practices  to cope with the 
level of complexity found in realistic projects has  traditionally been 
accomplished via mentors or workshops. Since those two options are not really 
available to me does someone have a document that covers these details? 


The cookbook briefly mentions some techniques (e.g. chapter 6 talks about for 
example, how to achieve annual heating and cooling for a whole building without 
simulating every day etc.... i.e. it reports initial scaling factors that can be 

used to convert from short period assessments to seasonal performance data.). 


Regards,

Ian
