the<br>initial menu). You can then either run the assessments<br>manually or in the simulation menu you can select the<br>"integrated performance view option (just below the visual impact option).<br><br>-Jon Hand<br>________________________________________<br>From: <a ymailto="mailto:esp-r-bounces@lists.strath.ac.uk" href="mailto:esp-r-bounces@lists.strath.ac.uk">esp-r-bounces@lists.strath.ac.uk</a> [<a ymailto="mailto:esp-r-bounces@lists.strath.ac.uk" href="mailto:esp-r-bounces@lists.strath.ac.uk">esp-r-bounces@lists.strath.ac.uk</a>] On Behalf Of Ian McCall [<a ymailto="mailto:ijmccall@yahoo.com" href="mailto:ijmccall@yahoo.com">ijmccall@yahoo.com</a>]<br>Sent: 09 August 2010 14:02<br>To: Achim.geissler; ESP-r<br>Subject: [esp-r] Res: AW: Scaling up my Model<br><br>Hello Achim,<br><br>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:<br><br>"Normally
an integrated simulation is invoked by which<br>the heat, fluid, electrical power and light flows within<br>combined building/plant models may be evaluated."<br><br>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.

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?<br><br>Cheers,<br><br>Ian<br><br> * Previous message: [esp-r] Res: creat a new surface Bug <<a href="http://lists.strath.ac.uk/archives/esp-r/2010/001926.html" target="_blank">http://lists.strath.ac.uk/archives/esp-r/2010/001926.html</a>><br> * Next message: [esp-r] circular windows <<a href="http://lists.strath.ac.uk/archives/esp-r/2010/001924.html"

The<br>cookbook states that scaling up skills and working practices to cope with the<br>level of complexity found in realistic projects has traditionally been<br>accomplished via mentors or workshops. Since those two options are not really<br>available to me does someone have a document that covers these details?<br><br><br>The cookbook briefly mentions some techniques (e.g. chapter 6 talks about for<br>example, how to achieve annual heating and cooling for a whole<br> building without<br>simulating every day etc.... i.e. it reports initial scaling factors that can be<br>used to convert from short period<br>assessments to seasonal performance data.).<br><br><br>Regards,<br><br>Ian<br><br><br><br><br>________________________________<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>esp-r mailing list<br><a ymailto="mailto:esp-r@lists.strath.ac.uk" href="mailto:esp-r@lists.strath.ac.uk">esp-r@lists.strath.ac.uk</a><mailto:<a
