I have put it into a folder in cygwin called temp and I am giving the command ./Install –gcc4 –compiler_version -4 –d /usr/esru to cygwin to launch the installation.  Cygwin says “Install: command not found”, is there anything else i ought to do? Briana sent me a detailed explanation on how to install cygwin and esp-r for windows 7, i don’t have her email address anymore. Could you please put me in contact with her?

No 89) does not support<o:p></o:p>   the specification of immersed heat exchangers.  This model has been modified to<o:p></o:p>   provide support for specifying a single spiral heat exchanger (plant database<o:p></o:p>   comp. No 103) and two spiral heat exchangers (plant database comp. 104). The<o:p></o:p>   inputs for these components fix the location of the heat exchangers along the<o:p></o:p>   height of the stratified tank and specify the geometry of the spiral of the<o:p></o:p>   heat exchanger.<o:p></o:p> - The shading and insolation module has been modified to include obstruction<o:p></o:p>   block opacity.  With this, opacity factor--ranging from (0 fully transparent)<o:p></o:p>   to 1 (fully opaque)--can be set for each obstruction block.<o:p></o:p> - The grid resolution and the number of obstructions available for shading<o:p></o:p>   analyses has been increased.  This allows more complex surfaces with<o:p></o:p>   thin frames to be accommodated.<o:p></o:p> - A water-filled zone feature has been added.  This can be used in cases where<o:p></o:p>   zone-coupled flow is defined via the zone operations file.<o:p></o:p> - A bug in the calculation of the humidification/dehumidification load<o:p></o:p>   when using ideal zone control with humidity control has been repaired.<o:p></o:p>   Previously the controller determined the correct relative humidity but<o:p></o:p>   incorrectly calculated the required (de)humidification to achieve it.<o:p></o:p>   The magnitude of the error was larger in models with large latent loads<o:p></o:p>   when using long time-steps.<o:p></o:p> - An error in the xml/csv output for the average ground temperature used<o:p></o:p>   by the BASESIMP model for BASESIMP-type boundary conditions has been<o:p></o:p>   corrected.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Project Manager<o:p></o:p> ---------------<o:p></o:p> - An interface has been created in Project Manager to allow users to apply<o:p></o:p>   the Alberta air infiltration model (AIM-2).  This model has been available<o:p></o:p>   within the Simulator for a decade.  However, it was a 'hidden' feature<o:p></o:p>   that required the user to manually configure an input file.  With this<o:p></o:p>   additional the AIM-2 model can be more broadly applied.  AIM-2 is a<o:p></o:p>   so-called single-zone model for calculating stack and wind driven infiltration<o:p></o:p>   rates for single-family detached houses.  It can be considered as an intermediate<o:p></o:p>   method lying between the simplified treatment of infiltration via the operation<o:p></o:p>   file and the more detailed network air flow approach.<o:p></o:p> - An interface has been created in Project Manager to allow users to apply<o:p></o:p>   the BASESIMP foundation heat loss model.  This model has been available<o:p></o:p>   within the Simulator for a decade and has been partially supported by Project<o:p></o:p>   Manager.  However, it was a 'semi-hidden' feature that required the user<o:p></o:p>   to manually configure an input file.  With this addition the BASESIMP model<o:p></o:p>   can be more broadly applied.  BASESIMP is a model for predicting both the<o:p></o:p>   above-grade and below-grade heat transfer from residential slab-on-grade and<o:p></o:p>   basement foundations and considers time-varying soil temperatures.  It is<o:p></o:p>   appropriate for use with small footprint buildings.<o:p></o:p> - An interface has been created in Project Manager to allow users to apply<o:p></o:p>   the 'idealized' HVAC models that were added by NRCan to support the HOT3000<o:p></o:p>   software about a decade ago.  These models have remained a 'hidden' feature<o:p></o:p>   that required the user to manually configure an input file.  With this<o:p></o:p>   addition the idealized HVAC models can be more broadly applied.  These can be<o:p></o:p>   considered as simplified methods for predicting fuel and electricity consumption<o:p></o:p>   of residential HVAC equipment that are used in conjunction with ESP-r's zone<o:p></o:p>   controls.<o:p></o:p> - Improvements have been made to the menu structure to facilitate working<o:p></o:p>   with models that included large numbers of control loops and large numbers<o:p></o:p>   of zones and/or surfaces.<o:p></o:p> - Logic has been introduced to identify convex and concave corners in rooms<o:p></o:p>   to automate creation of thermal bridge locations based on the room topology.<o:p></o:p> - The number of in-built ground temperature profiles has been increased and<o:p></o:p>   further documentation has been added to assist in appropriate selections.<o:p></o:p> - A method has been introduced to scan the climate data, generate ground<o:p></o:p>   temperatures at different depths and report estimated ground temperatures<o:p></o:p>   (via Marshall and Holmes 1988).  The Kusuda method for calculating ground<o:p></o:p>   temperatures has also been added.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Validation/Compliance Checking<o:p></o:p> ------------------------------<o:p></o:p> - A large number of interface and modelling changes have been made to provide<o:p></o:p>   the functionality required by the UK ‘National Calculation Method’ (NCM).<o:p></o:p>   A decision on ESP-r’s compliance with the NCM is expected in the near future.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <o:p> </o:p> General<o:p></o:p> -------<o:p></o:p> - ESP-r can no longer be compiled with GCC3.  An upgrade to GCC4 is now mandatory.<o:p></o:p> - Support has been added for the Install script to auto-detect the architecture<o:p></o:p>   on Cygwin running under Windows Vista and Windows 7.<o:p></o:p> - A number of new climate files have been included while some others have been<o:p></o:p>   updated.<o:p></o:p> - A number of new exemplars have been added.<o:p></o:p> - A number of changes to the automated testing scripts have been made.<o:p></o:p> - Corrected material vapour diffusion values for several entries associated<o:p></o:p>   with the IBO PassivHaus reference book. This would only impact models<o:p></o:p>   which used these materials and where interstitial condensation reports<o:p></o:p>   are generated.<o:p></o:p> - The Climate Analyzer includes a facility to convert global horizontal<o:p></o:p>   into beam and diffuse.  This was updated to make it more robust<o:p></o:p>   and to offer three methods: the Erbs Klein & Duffy method, the<o:p></o:p>   Maxwell method and Orgill & Hollands method.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Additional Changes<o:p></o:p> ------------------<o:p></o:p> - Many additional changes have been made that are transparent to the user.<o:p></o:p>   Information on these, as well as further details on all the above-mentioned<o:p></o:p>   changes, can be found in ESP-r Central's change log.<o:p></o:p> ___________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by MessageLabs' Email Security System on behalf of the University of Brighton.
