Output Files: Buildings data (_BLDG_)
*Work in Progress…*
| Dimension | Nr Variables | Format |
|---|---|---|
| 3D-Facade | 10 (Static), 50 (Dynamic) | Binary (EDX/EDT) |
Building Data
Contains the state of the 3D buildings both for static data like materials or view factors and dynamic variables such as facade temperature or heat fluxes. Data are stored in a 3D field with a data triple for X- , Y- and Z-Walls in each cell.
The Building data files are produced each main output interval (default: 60 min) and represent the general state of the building at the given model time. They are divided into static and dynamic data, the dynamic output is only written if a professional version of the software is used (not in LITE).
