[Equest-users] Under heated Hours / Unmet heated hours

[Justin Elkin]

Hello,

 

I have been struggling with under heated hours in my model. I have been
searching high and low through the archives and have been trying different

Suggestions made by many different users yet I still cannot manage to solve
my under heated hours problem. Unfortunately I don't have just a few

Hours here and a few hours there, it is a ton of hours that are under
heated. 

 

I have tried these suggestions made by others and saw some improvement but
by some I mean very very little:

            - Night Cycle Control --> Set to "Cycle on Any"

            - Thermostat type -> Reverse Action

            - Increased Throttling Range

            - Defaulted all heating/cooling schedules for the zones in the
problematic system with the exception of the control zone

            - Increased Heating Capacity

            - Change Cooling Control range from 4 degs to 1 deg. 

            - Others that are not coming to mind at the moment but proved
unsuccessful

 

The main problematic zones are in the "Arena" and "Galleria" Shells of my
model. Adding heat to the Galleria did solve my under heated hours but I had


To add a whole lot of heat in order for that to happen, and I mean A LOT. 

 

Is there something I am missing? Can anyone tell me something I may have
missed or something noticeably wrong with my system setup? 

 

Please offer any advice you may have. The .pd2 and .inp files are attached. 

 

Thank you very much!
