[EnergyPlus_Support] Problems about effective Temperature( ET*)



Hi guys,

Recently I'm doing a comparison simulation between EnergyPlus and an Australian standard energy rating software called AccuRate.

In AcuRate, the cooling process is controlled by judging the whether the zone condition is within the comfort region which is determined as below:

Top:	Absolute moisture content = 12 g/kg

Bottom:	Absolute moisture content = 0 g/kg (normally it is 4 g/kg but AccuRate will not invoke cooling merely because the air is too dry)

Right:	ET* line passing through the point corresponding to (Cooling Thermostat + 2.5) degrees and 50% RH

Left:	Not relevant

My problems is I can't find a way to calculate the effective temperature in EnergyPlus. Is there anybody know how to solve it?

Thanks in advance.
