Material database

DB 24.78

• Two generic soils have been added to the “Generic Materials”. Nine soils for purely thermal calculations have been added to “Materials for thermal calculations”. Twelve soils derived from a soil material database have been added to the “North America Database”.
• Absorption and emission coefficients for “Gravel roof, generic model”, “Green roof, generic model” and “Green roof, Optigreen system” have been added to the coefficients’ drop-down list.

Climate Reader

• #978: Some of the hourly indoor climate models in WUFI Pro and WUFI 2D are to be derived from the hourly outdoor climate selected by the user. However, when a multi-year outdoor climate was used, the climate reader procedure used by both WUFI Pro and WUFI 2D derived the indoor climate only from the first year of the outdoor climate file and used these first-year indoor data for the remaining years as well. This has been fixed.

3.4.2.181

• Following changes in US standard ASHRAE 160 on which WUFI’s “ASHRAE 160” indoor climate model is based, the following changes have been made in the model in order to remain compatible with the standard in its current version:
  The following limiting rule has been added to section 4.3 of the standard: “Indoor design humidity shall not exceed 70% RH.”
  Table 4.3.2 has been modified in the following way:

  Table 4.3.2 Residential Design Moisture Generation Rates
  Number of Bedrooms	Number of Occupants	Moisture Generation Rate
  1 bedroom	2	8 7 L/day	0.9 0.8 x 10-4 kg/s	0.7 0.64 lb/h
  2 bedrooms	3	12 9 L/day	1.4 1.0 x 10-4 kg/s	1.1 0.83 lb/h
  3 bedrooms	4	14 10 L/day	1.6 1.2 x 10-4 kg/s	1.3 0.92 lb/h
  4 bedrooms	5	15 11 L/day	1.7 1.3 x 10-4 kg/s	1.4 1.0 lb/h
  Additional bedrooms	+1 per bedroom	+1 L/day	+0.1 x 10-4 kg/s	+0.1 lb/h

• #941: Because of a (recently introduced) mix-up in the parameters being passed on, inconsistent calculation schemes were used when the simplified radiation cooling or the explicit radiation balance were selected. In both cases, the “simplified radiation cooling” scheme was used for deriving the radiation data from the weather data, and the numerics always used the full “explicit radiation balance” scheme. This bug has been fixed. (The standard calculation mode where the simplified radiation cooling and the explicit radiation balance are switched off was not affected.)

• The new installation package contains the updated database.
  Construction assemblies can now be imported in DXF format.
  The user interface has been polished in a few places.
