Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Load

[Hannah Yan <hannahyan@xxxxxxxxx>]

EnergyPlus's talking about sensible load all the time,
for example autosizing has no latent load included.
But in coil setup, there is a outlet air humidity,
which to me that latent load is also calculated. Does
this mean that the sizing will be smaller than
actually needed (total load) in summer design day, and
therefore a larger sizing factor has to be assigned in
Miami than in Phoenix?

If I want E+ to calculate latent load energy, is it
must to have humidity setpoint in the space?
