Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Hot water radiators question



What you have so far is fine, but it is not enough.  There must be a complete 
PLANT LOOP and more components including a pump and boiler in order to serve 
the radiator.  Please see example file WindACAuto.idf   This example has three 
radiators on the demand side of the plant loop, but you can construct your 
input to be similar with a single radiator.
