All,
I want to match the number from detailed report (in this case LS-F)
with hourly report.
The variable that I want to match is the solar radiation through
external windows. I have reported the total (direct+diffuse)
transmitted solar radiation (this is variable no 13 under window
hourly reports). If I multiply these values with the area of the
windows and multiply by the SC, I should have the total transmitted
solar radiation for the whole year. However, the number does not match
with the total in LS-F.
Did I pick a wrong variable?
Thanks,
Ery
I would guess that the difference might be variable 13 is reporting the
heat gain due to solar whereas the LS-F is the heat load -- the difference
being some of the heat gain is absorbed by the furnishings & zone thermal
mass to be re-added as a load later depending on the weighting factors.
This, however is just a guess.
