Heating And Cooling Loads dialog box
In this dialog box, you can set parameters such as the global building use
type, building location, global conditioning system, overall building
construction and ground plane, ground-level reference, and building
infiltration. You can also define the level of detail you want to see in the load
analysis report.
Weather Data
Earlier in the chapter, we discussed building type, service type, and building
construction, but another major component of energy analysis is the
physical location of the building. The location determines environmental
conditions such as outdoor air temperature and humidity and also ASHRAE
climate zone data. In the Heating And Cooling Loads dialog box, select the
ellipsis button next to the Location parameter value to access the Location
Weather And Site dialog box, shown in
Figure 8.15
