Hi. You can partition spaces after you’ve created the overall shape, but it can be fiddly. What I do is I build the model one room at a time, rather than starting with the overall shape. For example, if I have a square room that has a smaller square room in one corner, I’d draw the smaller square first using the prism option, then I’d draw the larger room around that (essentially an “L” shape). If room boundaries overlap, there’s a good chance simulations will not run. Similarly, if there are small gaps between room boundaries, the simulation might run, but the results might be wrong.

How do I download the program for free? I need it urgently. @dhanyasiva4532

Hi. I would say that learning how to draw the geometry of your model is a good starting point. There are other settings too, such as the building template manager, which are important and some people may say that is a better starting point, but I always start with the geometry when teaching my own students. There are some good guides available from the IESVE website at the following link: www.iesve.com/support/userguides If you have any specific queries, you can reach me via email to waynegmit@gmail.com

Hi. No, I do not have anything like that, but there are guides available on the IESVE website: www.iesve.com/support/userguides

Good suggestion. My time for creating new videos is quite limited lately, but if you can send me an example of geometry that you’ve made, I’ll have a look. Best email for me is cadandstuff@gmail.com

while in the axonometric view, click on the space you want to edit, use the drag face command on the side of the room you need to change.

I used sketch up for a short while about 11/12 years ago just to give it a try out. Haven’t used it since, so I’m not sure about how it works with IESVE.

I don’t have a video specifically for the Irish Part L. You can use the techniques in my videos and apply them to the current (changeable) regulations easily enough. The main thing to consider is the overall u-value for the fabric element and the item itself. How the u-value is achieved is less important (e.g. the thickness of each material is up to you, so long as the overall value is at or below the regulation value).

@@CADandStuff Ok thanks, appreciate the reply and tips. Keep up the good work

Sure, send the project folder to me and I’ll have a look. It will be next week before I’ll get a chance to check it out, though.

​@@CADandStuff hey here is the link drive.google.com/open?id=1_daskqxuHIbjAs-KtkDQMSiH0fjY9eq7 to my underground space i have model a house and the underground space as different structures. My underground space consist of 3 boxes, the outer box is insulation, the inner box is thermal mass and the normal underground structure. the air temperature in the underground space still varies with the outside temperature despite me doing this. Do you also have tutorials on Apache HVAC, I am trying to use the air temperature in the underground space to heat upand cool up the building.

Yahya Ibraheem Hi, no I don't use that function with my class, so I have no video for it.

No problems, thanks anyway

+Yahya Ibraheem ok

Yes, anywhere you see me working on ventilation in my videos, that is natural ventilation. Have a look at those.

Have you drawn the model so that each room is a separate item?

@@CADandStuff No Sir i have a model prepapred i am just opening it in IES VE through open file and then through your video doing different analysis but one of my task is that i have to do it for one part of the building like a zone and not for all the building.

The key to this is to make sure that you have modelled individual rooms as “rooms”’in IESVE. If you try to import geometry from other software, you have to be very careful that there are no overlaps or gaps in the geometry. Depending on the complexity, it might actually make sense to build the model from the very start in IESVE, rather than importing something that might cause problems. When you have rooms modelled individually, it is relatively easy to extract simulation results from just the room(s) you're interested in, rather than the whole building.

If you want to book some time with me for specific training that is not covered in the videos, please contact me and I’ll go over the details with you.

You would have to contact the vendor about that

You have to pay for this software.
