OpenBuildings™ Station Designer Help

Simulation dialog Results tab

Contains controls used to open saved results for previously executed simulations. The Results tab opens instances of the Simulation Results - Standard Report in which results reports can be reviewed.

Note: The Results tab is a subset of the Energy Simulation . The information displayed here was defined using the controls found on the Simulation dialog - Calculate tab .

SettingDescription
Simulations Contains settings used to review results from multiple simulations. Both graphic and detailed results can be reviewed. Simulations are listed in the table. Use the " + " control to expand the calculation to view its status.
  • Name - Displays the unique name given to the simulation.
  • Description - Displays a description associated with the simulation.
  • Calculation Date - Displays the date the simulation run was completed.
  • Status - Displays the status of the simulation (i.e. "complete", "running")
Tip: Double click a simulation to open the Simulation Results - Standard Report .
Report details

Used to provide information about the selected report. the Report details settings group appears when a saved simulation is selected.

  • Name — Displays the name of the energy simulation.

  • Description — Displays the description entered for the energy simulation.

  • Weather profile — Displays the weather profile used for the energy simulation.

  • Heating design day — Displays the heating design day or the coldest day of the year at the weather profile location.

  • Cooling design day — Displays the cooling design day or the hottest day of the year at the weather profile location.

  • Start day — Displays the energy simulation start date.

  • End day — Displays the energy simulation end date.

  • Include HVAC — Displays either True or False based on if the an HVAC system was selected for the simulation.

  • Simple room model — Displays either True or False based on if the Simple room model simulation type was selected for the simulation.

  • Building name — Displays the name of the project building.

  • Building type — Displays the type of building the project building is. Building type is determined by the calculation standard chosen for the project (ASHRAE or CIBSE).

Deletes the selected simulation.

Compare Enabled when two are selected. Compares two conceptual report simulation data.
Conceptual Disabled. Used for Conceptual model simulations.
Detailed

Opens an instance of the Simulation results dialog which displays the simulation results reports for the selected simulation.
