Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Re: need help w/ monthly gas usage results

[D T <ellinas.1984@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the help. I now understand why I'm not getting values. However, my ultimate goal is to obtain monthly gas usage values for one boiler and 4 ovens for the facility I am modeling. Since I'm trying to model a boiler and 4 ovens, could I just simply specify the total power input from the boiler and ovens (in watts) under the GAS EQUIPMENT object? When I did that, I got an error in my simulation. Or do I need to use the boiler object and something else for the ovens? I'm still struggling with trying to get gas usage values for this part of my work. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

 

Thank you,

Dimos

Dear Dimos,

I took a look at your file and I think your problem is this:

1) You have an ELECTRIC heating coil in the furnace.
2) Since the Furnace is the only heating object, and its coil uses
electricity, there is no load for the Boiler:Steam.
3) Therefore, there is no gas consumption.
