Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Re: Controlling temperature and humidity simultaneously





You would have to use a humidifier for that. See Humidifier:Steam:Electric.

Ricahrd, thanks for your reply.

Can the unitary systems aslo be used for humidification and not only
dehumidification? The reason I'm asking is that I'm trying to emulate
the output of a Passive Downdraught Evaporative Cooler which causes a
decrease in dry bulb temperature but an increase in relative humidity.
For reasons that are beyond this message, both objects of the
ZoneCoolTower:Shower and Evaporative Coolers are not suitable for my
model.
