Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] RunPeriod vs. DesignDay
Ming:
No, it would not be the same. Run Period data is taken from a
weather data file and will almost always not be the same as the
design day data. The design days in the datasets are single days
statistically determined from 30-yr weather data to be used for
equipment sizing. The weather files are a collection of actual
months from a similar (often the same) 30-yr data set. Also, for
autosizing equipment, design days are required. You cannot autosize
based on data from a weather file.
