Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Outdoor Air Schedules



Hi,

I'm quite new in E+ (2 months) and I'm still in a learning process so what I'm saying may not be true, however I think that for the first question Sizing:Zone object allows you to define outdoor air individually for each zone and, if you define the "Outdoor Air Method" as "flow/person" and manipulate the occupation schedulle you can schedulle the outdoor air per zone as you want, but another problem might appear happen on real occupation issues.

About the second question that's something that I would also like to learn.

Hope this helps you.

Dear all,

my building model has got multiple thermal zones served by multiple AHUs (approximately each AHU is serving 5 thermal zones). Thermal zones occupancy levels and schedules are different form each other therefore they have different OA requirements.
The Controller:OutdoorAir object allows to specify only one Schedule  for each AHU (Object: Mimimum Outdoor Air Schedule Name) which means that I can't differentiate each thermal zones OA Schedule, which ij my case should follow the occupancy.

If I use the Controller:MechanicalVentilation object I can specify OA rate per person and per area for each thermal zone served by each AHU, but again only one Schedule can be specified (Availability Schedule Name object).

So my questions are:

1) Is there a way to assign OA rate shedules for each single thermal zone?
2) also, is there a report  that I can use to check the zone OA rates per hour?  The Zone Mechanical Ventilation shows the total mechanincal ventilation...

thanks a lot in advance!
