[EnergyPlus_Support] RE:Changing Setpoint Temperatures-Strange values!!



Many thanks Andy,
  I could find these schedules but for my surprise; although my cooling setback temperature is set to 28C in Designbuilder, it's 100 in EnergyPlus, with availability 0!! whereas the heating schedules are right as exported from DB.
  the following shows the 4 schedules of one zone (from my exported model E+ txt file):
  
! Modified schedule: Office_OpenOff_Heat
SCHEDULE:COMPACT,
5468 Heating Availability Sch,
Temperature,
Through: 31 Dec,
For: Weekdays SummerDesignDay WinterDesignDay,
Until: 06:00, 1,
Until: 19:00, 1,
Until: 24:00, 1,
For: Weekends,
Until: 24:00, 1,
For: Holidays AllOtherDays,
Until: 24:00, 1;
   
  ! Modified schedule: Office_OpenOff_Cool
SCHEDULE:COMPACT,
Zone 5468 Cooling SP Sch,
Temperature,
Through: 31 Dec,
For: Weekdays SummerDesignDay WinterDesignDay,
Until: 06:00, 100,
Until: 19:00,  23,
Until: 24:00, 100,
For: Weekends,
Until: 24:00, 100,
For: Holidays AllOtherDays,
Until: 24:00, 100;
   
  So What's wrong? why do setback and availability change this way?
  Many thanks for your helpful replies. Waiting another with gratitude:)

          Hi Abeer,

The setpoint temperatures are time-varying and are recorded in the schedules
'Zone nn Cooling SP Sch' and 'Zone nn Heating SP Sch', where nn is the zone
number. For example:

! Zone 390 cooling set point schedule data
Schedule:Compact, Zone 390 Cooling SP Sch , !- Cooling schedule (just
summer)
Any Number,
Through: 3/31,
For: Weekdays Weekends SummerDesignDays,
Until: 24:00, 50,
For: WinterDesignDays,
Until: 24:00, 50,
For: AllOtherDays,
Until: 24:00, 50,
Through: 9/30,
For: Weekdays SummerDesignDays,
Until: 7:00, 28,
Until: 19:00, 24,
Until: 24:00, 28,
For: WinterDesignDays,
Until: 24:00, 50,
For: AllOtherDays,
Until: 24:00, 28,
Through: 12/31,
For: Weekdays Weekends SummerDesignDays,
Until: 24:00, 50,
For: WinterDesignDays,
Until: 24:00, 50,
For: AllOtherDays,

This is the schedule for cooling setpoints. The setpoint values '50'
indicate 'off', 28°C is the setback temperature and 24°C is the setpoint
temperature during occupied periods.
