[EnergyPlus_Support] Re: Heating/Cooling load

["amyquartette" <amyquartette@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I just got the result of the ideal Loads air Heating rate and Ideal Loads air total cooling rate.

The result seems to be abnormal high. For a 20 m² Living Room, the higheste ideal Loads air Heating rate of the year reaches 8 kW, and the Loads air total cooling rate 15 kW! What could be the Problem?
