[EnergyPlus_Support] Cooling load in EnergyPlus not similar to RESFEN3.1

["Rohini Brahme" <rbrahme@xxxxxxxx>]

This may or may not have anything to do with EnergyPlus. I am simulating a typical residence (Brownsville, TX, weather file) using EnergyPlus. The assumptions are similar to the assumptions for RESFEN 3.1. The heating load is similar to that of RESFEN, but the cooling is about 1/3rd. I have been trying to figure what it is that I am missing for past couple of days, but with no luck. The current file has a HVAC system, but even with purchased air, the ratios are same.  One thing that I am not simulating is the natural ventilation (which RESFEN simulates. It uses Enthalpic � Sherman-Grim

 

I have uploaded the file. It is called 1-sto-nogar-sch.idf

 

Thanks
