[EnergyPlus_Support] Air Heat Balance

[Clarice Bleil de Souza <claricebleil@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi everyone,
   
  I am having troubles to average out the air heat balance resulting from my simulation. 
   
  I am basically adding up the following variables:
   
  Zone Infiltration Sensible Heat Loss [J](Monthly)
Zone Infiltration Sensible Heat Gain [J](Monthly)
Zone Ventilation Sensible Heat Loss [J](Monthly)
Zone Ventilation Sensible Heat Gain [J](Monthly)
Zone Total Internal Convective Heat Gain [J](Monthly)
SUM of Surface Int Convection Heat Gain to Air [J](Monthly)
  Zone/Sys Sensible Heating Energy[J](Monthly)
Zone/Sys Sensible Cooling Energy[J](Monthly)
   
  But they do not average out, the result differences vary from 1% to 4% of the sum of heat gains and -1% to -4% of the heat losses.
   
  Could that be a convergence error? Can anyone give me a help on that please? It is a very simple model with one single zone only.
   
  Thanks in advance for that.
   
  Best regards,
   
  Clarice
