Output Options - Cooling Design

Cooling Design tab on Model Options dialog and General tab on Cooling Design Calculation Options dialog.

Store surface output

Check this checkbox if you would like surface level results to be generated for all surfaces in the model. The follow outputs will be generated:

• Inside Surface Temperature - for surfaces and openings.
• Outside Surface Temperature - for surfaces and openings.
• Surface Heat Gain - for surfaces.
• Glazing Heat Gain - for openings.

• Solar Incident - for surfaces and openings.

• Solar Transmitted - for window openings.
• Internal Convective Heat Transfer Coefficient - for surfaces and openings.
• External Convective Heat Transfer Coefficient - for surfaces and openings.

Warning: Use these surface and opening options with caution on large models as, when selected, they will cause large amounts of data to be generated and stored.

Store opening/sub-surface output

Check this checkbox if you would like opening level results to be generated for all windows, doors, sub-surfaces, vents and holes in the model.

Include unoccupied zones in block and building totals and averages

By default data for unoccupied zones is excluded from block and building totals and averages. Check this option to include data for unoccupied zones.

A zone is defined as unoccupied if it has:

• No occupancy and,
• No cooling and,
• No heating and,
• No mechanical ventilation

Note: if you uncheck this option and all zones in the model are unoccupied then you will get a 'Zero floor area error' message.
