[Bldg-sim] Modeling transpired solar collectors

[Matt Steen]

EnergyPlus or OpenStudio is also an option. The SolarCollector:UnglazedTranspired<http://bigladdersoftware.com/epx/docs/8-3/input-output-reference/group-solar-collectors.html#solarcollectorunglazedtranspired> object is not yet available through the OpenStudio API<https://s3.amazonaws.com/openstudio-sdk-documentation/index.html>, but could be added to any model by writing an EnergyPlus Measure<http://nrel.github.io/OpenStudio-user-documentation/reference/measure_writing_guide/#energyplus-measures> (Ruby script). Additionally, the Parametric Analysis Tool could be used to test different designs. If you choose to go the EnergyPlus/OpenStudio route and need further help, I would suggest posting to www.UnmetHours.com<http://www.UnmetHours.com> where those users (and developers) are more active.

EnergyPlus has a transpired solar collector model.

We are working on a project with transpired solar collectors. I'm looking for a good tool that will help us estimate the savings from these, but will also give us the ability to test different design options for this.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.
