Dear Langdon.
The text â??AHU
HEATING COIL CONTROLLERâ?? does not appear in your IDF,
so I canâ??t figure out what is referred to by the error. In
addition, the IDF is difficult to read because of the many interspersed comments.
I recommend that you begin using the newest version, so it can
be opened by the IDF Editor. Transition of your IDF to the current
version is almost a one click affair!

Subject: [EnergyPlus_Support] Large Reheat Consumption During Summer
|
Hello,
I am running multiple simulations using various
building configurations and I have run into the problem in my results which I
can't determine the cause for.
I get low natural gas consumption in the winter months
and high consumption during the summer due to the reheat system. I am using
an old version of EnergyPlus which I hope is not a problem.
I do get a Severe error in my simulations which occurs
multiple times:
Severe ** Controller error for controller = AHU
HEATING COIL CONTROLLER
** ~~~ ** Occurrence info=EDMONTON STONY PLAIN AB CAN
WYEC2-B-25145 WMO#=711230, 08/06 04:02 - 04:03
** ~~~ ** Controller function is inconsistent with
user specified controller action = "" action
** ~~~ ** Actuator will be set to minimum action
** ~~~ ** Note: Chilled water coils should be reverse
action and the entering chilled
** ~~~ ** water temperature should be below the
setpoint
** ~~~ ** Note: Hot water coils should be normal
action and the entering hot
** ~~~ ** water temperature should be above the
setpoint
I have attached the simulation file I am working with
and the weather file.
Thank you for your help.
