Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] indoor temperature



You need a thermostat plus an HVAC system to serve the load request from the 
thermostat.  Use the "SINGLE HEATING COOLING SETPOINT" to hold a constant 
indoor temperature and automatically switch between heating and cooling as 
needed.  The simplest form of HVAC system is "Purchased Air", an ideal system 
with no real equipment.  See ExampleFiles\PurchAirTables.idf
