[EnergyPlus_Support] EnergyPlus Validation



Dear Sir/Madam

I am validating EnergyPlus according to the VDI directive 6020. Tests require surfaces which absorption coefficients are zero, a constant external temperature and no solar radiation. In the case of one example a room has to be simulated with a load  of 1000 W, one time 100% convective, the other time 100 % radiant. While the radiant load produces an equilibrium temperature of about 52 °C (conform to the reference results of the directive) the convective load raises the room temperature to only 36 °C (reference temperature in the directive is about 50 °C).

There is no doubt that the convective load causes the room temperature to increase quicker, but I wonder why the same load of 1000 W (either radiant or convective) produces such different equilibrium temperatures at constant external conditions.

I would appreciate your help.
