[EnergyPlus_Support] Simulation Parameters, Time Steps
Time steps recommended in E+ is 4 for non-HVAC and 6 for HVAC
calculations.
Does it mean using time step of 1 will cause E+ to diverge or sacrifice
the accuracy?
Actually, 4 or 6 Time steps per hour are necessary for the
HVAC calculations. The heat balance simulation will give reasonable
results at 1, 4, or 6 Time steps per hour.
Note that the Time Step value must be evenly divisible into 60 --
therefore is limited to:
1,2,3,4,5,6,10,12,15,30,60
