I have model of an 8 story 30,000 sqm office building; it has…
64 core rooms
11 non-core rooms
14 ceiling plenums
808 apertures
42 shades
Does 2 hours for an energy simulation seem correct or super long. Notes below…
HB MODEL TO OSM method
11:40 begin
12:00 solar calculations initializing
1:00 calculation of heat
really slow on periods
cancelled after 2+ hours
;;;;;
HB ANNUAL LOADS method
takes about 5 minutes
;;;;;
(restructured code to run rooms, glazing and shades parallel into HB MODEL component instead of in series into HB MODEL component)
;;;;;
HB ANNUAL LOADS method
2:10 begin
2:15 done
;;;;;
HB MODEL TO OSM method
2:17 begin
2:20 solar calculation initializing
hung up on calculating sky diffuse exterior solar reflection factors
2:40
these 7x each
Beam-to-Diffuse Exterior Solar Reflection Factors
Beam-to-Beam Exterior Solar Reflection Factors
warming up
2:47 Sizing Period #1
2:51 Sizing Period #2
2:54 Sizing Period #3
up to Sizing Period #7?
;;;;;
3:35 Starting simulation at 01/01/2006 for run Period 1, looks like its monthly…
4:15 done!
