generated for a large and/or complex building that can have a significant effect. Can you try re-running the simulation and selecting only annual/monthly results, perhaps with fewer outputs as a starting point? As Javed says, you should contact the DesignBuilder
support desk if you can’t resolve the issue. You can raise a support ticket here:
