Hi,
i am building 2 models of a single house and a residential building in rivet to send it later to IES to calculate the energy consumption, actually have 3 questions
1- I want to measure the effect of the surrounding buildings on the thermal performance in these models, i modelled the surrounding buildings using walls and roofs but didn't define them as rooms (as illustrated in the file). is this the right way of doing that?
2- In the residential building model, I'm only concerned about one apartment in terms of energy performance , what is the best way to define it, please explain in details
3- I have measured data (internal and external temperature and Relative humidity) of these models, are there any resources related to calibrating these models in IES? any online courses recommended?
thank you
