[esp-r] Res: AW: Scaling up my Model

[Ian McCall]

Hello Achim,

I have clicked that option (even before posing the question on the mailing list) 
and what I get is a pop-up window that says: 

"Normally an integrated simulation is invoked by which
the heat, fluid, electrical power and light flows within
combined building/plant models may be evaluated."
 
and then disappears. Then I click "integrated simulation" and I get the regular 
menus and simulation options. When I execute the simulation I don't see anything 
that indicates that the pre-defined weeks were used. When I graph the ambient 
climate temperature shows a typical ambient temperature profile with no 
repeating weekly temperature profile as I would have expected. Where did I go 
off track? 

Regards,

Ian

Hi Ian

look for the "model context - integrated performance view" (ipv) menu. This 
allows for automatic calculation of the defined weeks, input of scaling factors 
etc. It produces a concise summary of the results.

Achim

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, sum!  mer, 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
