Dear Haitham

What version of ESP-r on which platform are you using? Which Format of 3d CAD did you try? In general, import of .dxf files which follow certain rules (see the ESP-r context help on this, a quite concise description is given) works for non-too-complex geometry. Possibly, the command line works slightly better.

What do you mean by "plant as thermal insulation"? If you have the data available (and as a first simple approach) you can define your own material (via Project Manager, database maintenance) and enter the appropriate thermal properties of the plant. However, effects such as evaporation (e.g. grass roof) will not be considered.

Out of curiosity: What is your home town?

Best
Achim

Betreff: [esp-r] basics as i thinks

Dear friends
After greetings,
I am new user of ESP-r program and i am attending to do a research on one building in my hometown using ESP-r. The research is about energy conservation.
Now, i have some problems with program ( as a new user ) :
- How to import 3d cad file to esp-r? because i was trying with a small room example but it didn't work.
- after that, can you plz explain to me how i can use specific kind of plant as thermal insulation , so i can get the differences between the energy consumption in both conditions : with and with out plants.
I will be thankful if you reply .
Thank you very much
