Custom Indoor Climate

[Bonilauri]

Hello,
For a building monitoring project, I'd need to be able to import a custom indoor climate as hourly values of T and RH.

I haven't seen a way to set this up in WUFI Pro: is it possible to do it?

Thank you,
Enrico

Dear Enrico,

for creating your own climate files you can find CreateClimateFile.xlsx in the WUFI tools folder, probably here:

Code: Select all

c:\Program Files (x86)\WUFI\Tools\

Hello Christian,
Thank you for your reply.

I found two Excel files in the folder you told - one for 2007 and newer Excel version, and one for older ones.

Unfortunately, neither seems to be working for me. I'm running Excel 15.27 for Mac and I can only open the two Excel files as read-only. I can open the file and enter any data I want, but I cannot export it to a .WAC file.

Is there a version of those files that is compatible with Excel on a Mac computer?

Thank you very much,
Enrico

Can anyone look into this, please?

I'm running WUFI on a virtual PC and Excel on my native Mac OS.

Would this excel file work on OpenOffice?

Thank you,
Enrico

Dear Enrico,

I found an article concerning that here:

So CreateClimateFile.xls may not work on Macs excel. Maybe try to find somebody with a windows version to use the macro for you.

Hello Christian,
i want to ask a question about custom indoor weather file...in this file it is seen that it is necessary fill the temperature and relative humidity values step by step for all columns. But how can it possible? if we fill all the blank as same initial conditions is it right ? because it is not possible to measure by using a device.
Thanks

Hi saricioglu pelin,

if you wish to do so, you can fill all the hours of the indoor climate file with the same values. The result will be that a constant indoor climate is applied in the simulation. You must decide yourself whether this is realistic enough for your simulation.

Kind regards,
Thomas

Thank you for answer. And also, in the WUFI library we can see ASHRAE 160, Sine curves, ISO and DIN..etc. For a hospital wall section which means mean value of temp. 23 C and relative hum. %60 and no air conditioning then which indoor choice is suitable for me ? and when I simulate slect the ISO 13788 and EN 15026 seperately the results are different as means VTT module...(Also wonder that VTT module is a assessment tool of indoor comditions i know but is it related to the other layers of wall or not ? )
Thank you.
