Passive:First Steps

Example Case
This example will give you an easy step by step guide, on how to input a new case in WUFI®Passive. It will be a very easy case and is inspired by the introduction movie. For more advanced stuff, go to the advanced example.

Step Zero: Case 1

In contrast to WUFI®Plus, this section does not contain any essential data but you can name your project and add some remarks.

Figure 1: Case 1

Step One: Climate and Localization

Figure 2: Climate

WUFI Passive standart climate is the german reference climate as in DIN 4108-6. In our case we will use climate data from Hannover. Select the "user defined" scope and press the browse button. After you input some valid data, the climate tab will show some graphs about temperature and radiation. Remember that WUFI®Passive needs a special format of climate files, you can see it in the previos link or in this movie.
If you dont have any climate files formated this way, you can switch to WUFI®Plus and input the climate file there. Detailed instrucitons for this can be found here.
