Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] DV Thermostat Temperature

[Philip Haves <phaves@xxxxxxx>]

Dear Daiounomiso,

Your email has just come to my attention - sorry for the delay in 
responding.

The only possible problem I can think of immediately, without seeing 
your input file and weather file, is that your system can't modulate the 
cooling supplied to the zone to a sufficient extent, either because the 
turndown isn't sufficient (if it's a VAV system) and/or because the 
supply air temperature is too low and can't be reset high enough (eg 
using Setpoint Manager: Warmest). Is the DV Thermostat temperature 
always too low, even at design conditions? Note that, if you specify a 
Sizing Factor greater than unity and your system cannot modulate the 
amount of cooling supplied, you may still get overcooling.

If this doesn't help you solve your problem, please send your input 
file, and also the weather file (unless you can reproduce the problem 
with just Design Days) direct to me.
