<HTML><BODY>Hi Ian<br /><br />some thoughts:<br /><br />1) res gives output for either timestep values or hourly, depending on your choice in prj. The h3k output, however, is always the time step. The switch "time step averaging" does not do what one might expect (at least I did), namely average the time steps to an hour. It averages the run time "present" and "future" values for each variable before output.<br /><br />So, the only basis for comparison would be "do not integrate time step values" for res.<br /><br />What kind of control do you have?<br /><br />2) h3k output is controlled by the input.xml file. Via the menu you can (basically) set this up. As far as I know, both .csv (time step results) and .xml (summary results) are always generated.<br /><br />Best<br />Achim<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />--------- Original-Nachricht --------<br /> Von: "Ian McCall" <ijmccall@yahoo.com><br /> An: "ESP-r"

When I look at the results file > sensible heating load ... I get a total value and list of values that look reasonable.<br />#Time BasseHeatInj(kW)<br />'00:30:30' 3.44<br />'01:30:30' 3.76<br />'02:30:30' 3.94<br />'03:30:30' 4.00<br />'04:30:30' 3.9!

occurs on ESP-r Linux version. Any ideas? <br /><br /><br />2) When I go into the >Integrated Simulation >H3K Reports Configuration the menu seems to have a several sensitivities: <br />- I can enable the H3K Reports but I cannot dis-able the reports (i.e. H3K Reports >> enabled) ... normally a second click should disable the reports and close the menus (i.e. H3K Reports >> disabled).<br />- There is no option of the output i.e. CVS or XLM (i.e. XSLT Formatted output) ... it seems to output both files at the same time. Is this intentional? <br />(There could be other sensitivities in the menu that I am unaware of because I don't normally use the ESP-r Linux version.) <br /><br />Regards,<br /><br />Ian<br /><br />Ecole des Mines de Nantes<br /></div> </div><br /> <br /> <br /> <hr /> <br /> _______________________________________________<br /> esp-r mailing list<br /> <a href="mailto:esp-r@lists.strath.ac.uk"
