[esp-r] Re: Open Vents

[Achim Geissler]

Hi Paul,

so you seem to have solved your issues in regard to the actual simulation running through? 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

Clearly something is wrong with the esp-r simulation. What and how do I fix it? Also attached is a third file which is the esp-r model.
