Parametric Simulation with IESVE Software
1 like944 views
The document outlines a webinar on parametric simulation features in the IESVE 2024 software, detailing design permutations related to climate, geometry, renewable energy, envelope, internal gains, and HVAC systems. It highlights new features that enhance usability, such as integration with Apache, data management, and auto-sequencing of simulation tasks. The presentation will not cover older parametric features and aims to demonstrate the improved capabilities of the updated software.

- 19. 8/28/2024 19 Questions www.iesve.com Is the Parametric Simulation feature Licensed separately? - Yes, but everyone has access to it and it is a free added feature. - In IESVE-2024, go to ‘Help’ menu: Refresh Keys to access the feature. Is Parametric Simulation Resolution Licensed separately? - Yes. Everyone with multiple seats has access to it. This is 4-13X faster. Questions www.iesve.com Is the Weather Parameter for Resiliency only? - Yes. Currently, it is setup to change the weather file only, not the location or design day conditions. - Consider setting the design day conditions to meet the needs to future morphed annual hourly weather data. Check VistaPro: Climate Zones
- 20. 8/28/2024 20 Questions www.iesve.com Is the Parametric Simulation for Schematic Design only? - No. Example Detailed Design permutations include HVAC system files, or Weather files, or perhaps construction assembly types. - However, some Parameters are SD-only features, suitable for say a LEED Integrative Process credit because it gets applied to all of the model. - E.g. % Glazing WWR, Orientation, Internal Gain Power Density www.iesve.com — Logical Processors — Ctrl + Alt + Delete — Task Manager (Performance Tab) Questions — IESVE License Seats — Help menu / — License Control / Check Usage: How do I check the # of Licenses & Logical Processors? … and a Recommendation?
