In the context of the Climate-KIC network (http://www.climate-kic.org/), one of the Knowledge and Innovation Communities of the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT), NIER Ingegneria is leading partner of a research project, SatTRY, that aims at developing a ground-breaking web platform, in order to provide more reliable and comparable data for dynamic simulation analyses. Data are based on satellite weather variables, processed to ?develop satellite-based TRY (test Reference Years). Since software houses play an essential role in the dynamic simulation market, your perspective of this topic is really essential for our research: in particular, we would like to investigate, by means of a short questionnaire, what is the typical profile of your users, what are their needs and if you could be interested in future collaborations. To fill in the questionnaire, please follow this link: https://goo.gl/forms/cjO741lUYkHTZi6d2 Please find attached a brief description of SatTRY. For any further information, do not hesitate to contact us via e-mail. Thank you for your time and consideration.

The message basically means that an output ?channel? the program wants to use cannot be used (because it is being used by a different process).

When I try to do a long simulation bps goes into a loop around 2184 hours. It is consuming 100% of the cpu and about 1517884k of ram. The machine has 8gb of ram of which 4gb is free at the time when it loops. Does bps have size or time limits? I've tried it with other weather files and it still loops.

If it happens for multiple weather files this suggests that the Install process was faulty. If downloaded from github perhaps the steps needed to merge the separate distributions prior to compilation was not followed correctly. An option is to provide you with links to a set of debian .deb install files (which should work on most recent Ubuntu computers) or a unified source distribution. If you want to try one of these let me know.

You get plausible results for simulations prior to hour 2184. You do not have any control. You tried with more than one climate file. Possible further issues that come to mind: - is the location used correct for the climate file (possible problems with ?solar w/o sunup?, however, this usually does not lead to infinite loops) - simulation time step (possibly try shorter time steps. For whatever reason, the .cfg seems to say 1 hour steps (10 for plant, but there is no plant). Maybe try 10 ts for the building - ? ? no idea. If you are not prepared to make the whole model available, I?m afraid I have no further ideas. Good luck.

Very good. There is no evidence in the model file you sent (ESP-r) that you have any vents at all. That is likely what is ?wrong" in ESP-r. You would need to add an air flow network or - in the least - some kind of infiltration via the operations file (I would suggest the air flow network for a green house, though). Also, you would need to set up an appropriate control for the vents. Is there a special reason that you >also< wish to use ESP-r when you seem to have a model in EnergyPlus, as well? Basically, EnergyPlus is probably very similarly competent so why the double effort? Best Achim > On 28 Apr 2018, at 19:07, Paul wrote: > > Attached are two .jpg files.

The missing file refers to ?Adaptive gridding & moisture?. At some point, you must have chosen to add this and created a reference to a file gh.mst. However, this file does not exist so you get your problem. If you go to the appropriate menu in zone composition (k), you can select the zone (gh) and then choose de-reference. Then the model is ready to run ? basically. However, a short test-run does not give any usable zone temperature results ? so you seem to have further issues that may have many reasons. I would initially look at your control. And also create a QA report with everything verbose and look at that to check if everything is as it should be. Good luck.

Over the years many graduate students did research for him and much of this ended up in a program called WatSol, if I remember correctly. Included in the lab was a rock storage tank for storing solar energy. Basically it used air as the heat transfer fluid from the solar collectors, and stored it in the rock bed until needed. Thus the complete solar system could utilize air as the working fluid. For one of my heat transfer courses I did some work on modeling the rock bed. Not sure if I can dig that up. I am not sure if rock storage models made it into WatSol. I believe WatSol was migrated into ESP-r. Again I don't know if this is just the solar collection model of WatSol, or if more functionality was included. A few years ago when I was in the design stage for our house we contemplated a ground tube for fresh air preheat. In the design, you always have some misgivings, in my case what about summer time when hot humid air will come into contact with the ground tube and result in condensation. Initially ignoring those misgivings I came up with a design. Then I talked with an expert that was familiar with ground tube research. He stated it was never a good idea, because there was no possible way to prevent mold growth, particularly for a single dwelling design. He also pointed out the rather obvious fact that with a good HRV you are recovering the exhaust heat anyway so a ground tube is not really giving you anything. We killed the idea before implementation based on this information. So that is the cautionary part, not knowing what you are doing. All interesting bunny trails, but if your work needs rock storage models, it may jog other memories or provide a lead for looking at what ESP-r may be able to do, maybe things that are not implemented into the user interface. Others with more familiarity will be able to help far more than I. My guess is that the best research for rock storage would be from the late 70's into the early 80's.

If the internal partition is not rectangular do the following: create the initial surface and then use the copy-and-invert facility in the zone surface list to create the reversed other side. The two polygons will have the correct edge ordering. They should have a composition of 100mm concrete. The boundary condition for each is the 'other' surface and there will be two 'faces' associated with the zone for convection and shortwave & long-wave radiation. If one side gets hot from sunshine the other surface will pick up that heat via conduction. There are examples of these approaches in the exemplars. If the partition is between two zones you have the option of having a 100mm gap between the two thermal zones and the two relevant surfaces should have the other as a boundary condition. Some users choose to have no geometric separation between thermal zones - as long as the boundary conditions have been set correctly ESP-r will simulate it correctly. There are examples of slightly-offset-zones as well as non-offset-zones in the exemplars.

As you know, Ian Beausoleil-Morrison of Carleton University has served as the archivist for several years, professionally merging the source code developments submitted to him by various groups and individuals. It is now time to give Ian a break and to this end I have agreed with him to take over control of the archive . On 14 June 2018 I took a copy of the ESP-r source from the GitHub repository and am in the process of repackaging the system to support some major upcoming developments and provide an installer for those not conversant with source control protocols and compile/linking constructs (e.g. users wishing to apply the system but not develop it). I expect this to take approximately one week and will contact you again thereafter to clarify the new access and modification procedures. Let me conclude this brief message by thanking Ian for his patience and effort as archivist. I look forward to working with you all in future.

The best bet may be (if you have that export available) is to try the new gbXML feature which is actively being developed currently. Some time ago, I also tried the dxf import which didn't work even with a re-import of a dxf-export from ESP-r. Basically, though, it does not work via volumes but via 3d surfaces as far as I recall (last successful usage approx. 2010). Also, you need to have transparent surfaces on an individual layer (not the layer with opaque surfaces). An export file from ESP-r gives the best insight into the necessary file structure, probably.

I used a newer Linux version of ESP-r than the Windows version that Hiroki was using to import the geometry in the DXF file into this model.

I then selected the import facility and specified the DXF file name and it was able to add the information in the DXF file to the model and resulted in a single zone model with a window in the front. In the older version look for the Import & Export menu item in the Model Management and select the DXF option and provide the full path to the DXF file. So - first create an empty ESP-r model and then do the import.

Sadly, I can?t really answer your question in regard to the tdf file. However, the ?ventilation? in the operations is as you write ?from zone to zone?. What didn?t work with that approach? Possibly you would need to also define a large enough infiltration for the ?ventilation source zone?. Do you have the infiltration schedule from measurements? Or why - if you want "detailed infiltration" - are you not using an explicit air flow network? This can handle both the infiltration and the mechanical ventilation very flexibly. E.g. take a look at the exemplar cellular_various ?

The problem was related to the 6th column, the uncertainty flag, which was blank (i.e. comma-comma). The ESP-r read function skips this and assigns the dry bulb value to the flag input and then reads in the remainder one column out. Can you check if this is the same problem as I don't get the same error on the graphical view. If you add a '-' to the first day or two at the 6th column you can check these read OK without having to fill in the whole file. If this doesn't fix it can you share the epw file, or at least the preamble and first few lines, for checking.
