Output from a simulation is presented as diagrams and reports. There are several different diagrams to choose from. The selection is made from the Choice of output dialog that is accessed by clicking on the Requested output button in the building form or if Choose output is selected in the Tools menu. The following diagram and reports exist (those marked with # are pre-selected but can be deleted):

Diagrams

Building level:

AHU temperatures (#) Air temperatures in central AHU

AHU airflows Air flows through central AHU

Plant temperatures Plant temperatures: Boiler & chiller, in & out

Total heating and cooling (#) Heat and cooling supplied by plant and ideal room units

Wind speed Wind speed and direction

Plant details: Detailed measures from an ESBO plant model

Occupancy Current total number of occupants in building

Solar radiation against facade Sum of direct and diffuse (sky + ground) solar radiance on façades with a window
