[Bldg-sim] Question about Energyplus

[Jim Dirkes]

Te Qi,
If the file uses a NightCycle Availability Manager, E+ will operate the HVAC during unoccupied hours to maintain the applicable setpoint.

Subject: [Bldg-sim] Question about Energyplus

Hello everyone,

I am doing a case study about a office building in design builder(E+) using the compact system (VAV with reheat +outside air set). While I set the cooling setpoint schedule as only working during occupied hours(7-18), also I check the E+ file that the schedule I set  is right. However, when I check the meter about the cooling coils consumption, I realizedthe cooling coil and fans are still working  during unoccupied hours, which confused me a lot. Could someone experienced tell me the reason. Thanks so much.
