Re: [TRNSYS-users] Printing

[David Bradley <bradley@tess-inc.com>]

Abdullahi,
  There are many different ways that you could specify which days
are weekdays and which hours are working hours so there is not one single
way that you can automatically output the results for those hours. I
rarely use the SCHEDULES in Type56 but specify the occupancy, lighting
gains, equipment gains, etc. as inputs to Type56. Consequently, I usually
have a component that sets the buildings occupancy profile outside of
Type56. The component outputs a 1 if the building is occupied and a 0 if
the building is not occupied. I then write an equation like the
following:

OccupiedResult = Occupied*Result + (1-Occupied)*9999999.

where 
Occupied is the signal (1 if the building is occupied, 0 if it
isn't)
Result is the output that I am interested in
OccupiedResult is equal to Result when the building is occupied and is
equal to 9999999 (or some other arbitrary number) when it is not.

Once you print OccupiedResult to a post processor, it is easy to sort out
the hours when the building is not occupied.

Cheers,
 David

Hello all,
 
I want to run building simulation for a year and output results for only the working hours of the week, is there anyway I can print results in this way? I find it very difficult sorting out my data for analysis, when the result is for each hour of the year. I will appreciate any help.
 
Thanks in Advance
Abdullahi
