I am simulating 36 start up days (to be safe) for a simulation period that lasts only one day. I acknowledge that the ambient temperature should not necessarily be continuous (i.e. temperature at beginning of the day will not match the end). However, I am puzzled by the fact that a large thermal mass in my building does not appear to show any effects at 12:30am of the stored heat from the day before. Basically, the temperature graph of the thermal mass drops from 22C to 19C in an instant. This indicates that a huge amount of energy disappears. I have copied the temperature of the node at the center of the mass:<br><br>00h30 19.45 <br>01h30 19.34 <br>02h30 19.24 <br>03h30 19.13 <br>04h30 19.03 <br>05h30 18.93 <br>06h30 18.83 <br>07h30 18.73 <br>08h30 18.66 <br>09h30 18.63 <br>10h30 18.71 <br>11h30 18.92 <br>12h30 19.28 <br>13h30 19.77 <br>14h30 20.36 <br>15h30 20.99 <br>16h30 21.61 <br>17h30 22.15 <br>18h30 22.56 <br>19h30 22.82 <br>20h30 22.93 <br>21h30 22.92 <br>22h30 22.82 <br>23h30 22.66 <br><br>Since the performance data cannot be viewed for the start up days, it's difficult to see what's really happening. Can anyone suggest what might be happening here?<br><br>I am using the native Windows version.<br><br>Any insights would be very helpful. Thanks.<br><br>Liam O'Brien<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br /><hr /> <a href='' target='_new'></a></body>
