Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Re: Heat Demand in Chilled Water loop??

[Karen Walkerman <kwalkerman@xxxxxxxxx>]

I believe it was the Plant Loop Heating Demand [W](Hourly) and Plant Loop Cooling Demand [W](Hourly) that were giving odd numbers at times when the flowrate was low.

Wigs! Karen, which PlantLoop Output Variable name EXACTLY are you refering to? I'm busy with a very high profile, highly political Summer Design Day simulation at the minute, and I can't be less than 100% sure. I am looking specifically when and how much my peak Load for the plant is...we're talking in the range if Mega Joules so small mistakes = lots of money.
