Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Re: Output error



The errors occur only 3 times (in V3.0) so it's not that big of a deal. 
I added outdoor relative humidity and zone air relative humidity as 
report variables. The zones operate at 100% relative humidity when these 
errors occur and it's cold and damp outside (T=13C-14C, RH=99%). This 
means the zone is cooling off and zone RH is increasing. The RH 
calculation error occurs in the Fangar model for thermal comfort (people 
object) and uses zone temp, zone humidity ratio and outdoor barometric 
pressure for the calculation.. And the calculation is not that far off 
(~1%). Ventilation probably won't help in this situation since both 
outdoors and indoors are on or near the psychrometric chart saturation 
curve.

Is this a typical indoor condition in your area for uncontrolled spaces?
