[EnergyPlus_Support] Re: AHU not turning on



This .idf is just one air handler that makes up the entire building.  However, to reduce run time I separated the system components to just deal with this airloop.  Even if all the walls are included in the original .idf I get the same problems.

I saw the system and airloop was turning on, but the air flow remained zero, which lead me to believe that the fan is working and making pressure, but that as the air in the zone has nowhere to go, that the back pressure simply builds up and no flow insues. I'm assuming that these are supply fans. I did not check the fan schedule. your schedules themselves looked good.
