[EnergyPlus_Support] Re: Please help me!!!

["gionyololo2011" <gio.macchitelli@xxxxxxxxx>]

so I have to delete the HVACTemplate:Zone:IdealLoadsAirSystem ?
how can I differently tell to the software the temperature I want in my building?
I am already studying a lot of example files (PlantLoadProfile.idf, SolarCollectorFlatPlateWater.idf, ...) and I succesfully put in my idf the solar collector and a coil but I can't find the way to create my 2,000 liters storing barrel and the way to link these 3 components
