[EnergyPlus_Support] Re: One thermostat; multiple zones

Hello 

Hers an idea:

1- run the simulation with only the zone of the control;
2- take the control zone tempreture and schedule it to the other zones and run the simulation again.

Problems:

Yes, you lose the influce of adjacente, heated, zones on your control zone, but I don´t thinck it´s to significant.

So in other words, heating would not be added to ANY of the zones unless the thermostat in one of the zones is below the heating setpoint.  Can this be accomplished using an ideal loads system or do I need to move towards the explicit HVAC domain?
