Daily heating/cooling loads

QUESTION:

I have worked out how to calculate monthly loads, however I need daily heating/cooling loads. Is it possible to display or access this information ?

ANSWER:

If you assign each zone you are interested in as Air-Conditioned, the Hourly Heat Gains/Losses graph should provide the information you need. This will be given in the HVAC column, where a positive value is a required cooling load and a negative value is a required heating load.

To get this same data in a format you can use in a spreadsheet, simply select the Monthly Loads/Discomfort calculation type and make sure the Save Data to File box is checked. In the resulting CSV file, the data you want will be output hourly for the entire year in the SpaceCooling and SpaceHeating columns.
