Dear Augustin,
If you are modeling a hot water system baseboard, there is not
such a system as you describe (in real life or Energy Plus)
If you are modeling an electric baseboard system, its energy use
is independent of whether it operates on/off or proportionally. (there is no
pump or boiler and cycling / proportional operation use the same energy)

Subject: [EnergyPlus_Support] Baseboard convective at constant capacity
Hi all,
I am new to Energy Plus. I would simply like to model a baseboard convective
heater (electric) that works at his full capacity when it is on and switch off
when the room temperature reach the cooling setpoint of the thermostat.
What I currently get is a heater that adapts its capacity in order to keep the
room temperature at the heating setpoint (20°C) I've chosen (with a dual
setpoint thermostat) which does not represent my experimental results.
Could you help me with that please?
Thanks a lot!
Augustin Tardieu
