[EnergyPlus_Support] Re: Trouble in energy plus

["Alan Jackson" <alanjackson7@xxxxxxxxx>]

I had a quick look at the idf. For starters I would make sure that
your internal gains are all input, it appears you have accounted for
occupancy only. also you should look at inputting some infiltration
and likely some ventilation. All these will require schedules which
you have not defined yet, so that is very important also.

then go ahead and set up you design objects for zone sizing etc.

At that point you should be able to add a thermostat and compact hvac
or purchased air if you just want to compare load reduction. and do a
design day run to check if it runs.

As far as outputs you will need to add some reports. check an example
file or the input/output readme for that one.

As always take a look at a similar example file and make sure that you
have accounted for all the objects that are in the example file (for
the most part). (under c:\<install path>\ExampleFiles\) look for the
excel file for more info.

good luck!
