[EnergyPlus_Support] Re: starting zone temperature

Thanks for the reply.

In fact, what I am trying to do is to compare some simulation data with some real data,temperature wise and I want to ensure that the starting point for the simulation temperature matches the one in the real data.

So I was hoping to be able to define the initial temperature of my zone. Is that possible?

Thanks
