hi ,
if u r busy , just look at the attachment pic , u ll understand ..
i recent began using ecotect , but i think there is a huge bug , when you do the thermal analysis , take a look at the hourly gain graph , i think the HVAC curve is the other way round , i e : in summer time , the HVAC numbers are all positive, which shouldnt , because positive means the hvac is heating the space . however , when i look at the temperature graph , the space is not overheated but rather to the optimum temperature i had set up previously . I did a little experiment to test if this is indeed a bug , first in the zone management window , i set zone A to cooling only '' as the system type , then i rerun the analysis , then i look at the hourly gain graph at the hottest summer day , well , common sense has it , the hvac load should be high right ? but noo , it was literally zero , even the data on the bottom tap varified this . and to go a bit further , i set it to the coolest winter day , then the hvac load is hight , at least its not zero . so .. what is going on ? why on earth do a cooling-only system need to use any energy for on a winter ?? i used 2010 n 2011. anyone with the same problem ? please help ?
