RE: [EnergyPlus_Support] Re: Schedule 10001 - Output Value is time shifted





Dear Jean,

 

A quick review suggests that you look at:

 

1.       You are using an On/Off fan.  The fan uses an “Always on” schedule, but the nature of this fan is to cycle on and off as needed for building loads.

2.       You are also using AvailabilityManager:NightCycle set for “StayOff”.  Normally this means that your fan will never operate at night.  I’m not sure what happens with an OnOff fan …, but you might get rid of this manager since it does not apply to your situation.

3.       Finally, you are autosizing minimum outdoor air in the Controller:Outdoor Air. I’d be inclined to set the minimum at a non-zero value or create a minimum fraction or schedule for outdoor air.

Thank you Dr. Li,

You're right. The only reason the schedule is "any number" not "fraction" and this complicated is because this is the output from designbuilder. I use the graphics from designbuilder in my simulation report which explain the schedule much nicer than the syntax of a Schedule:Compact object. As to the time shift...I'm still at a loss. I use xEsoView to check the outputs in the eso file. Therefore I specified the Schedule Output Values for both hourly and timestep. Looking at the timestep values I still don't under stand why it doesn't start with the day schedule time.

I've posted the idf in the user exchange area.

My other problem is that the specified min ODA is not happening, and I can't figure out why (It should be constantly on night and day).

Regards,

Jean
