[EnergyPlus_Support] Help with VAV to Constant Air Volume



Hi,

I converted my Variable Air Volume file to Constant Air Volume and my heating consumption has increased by almost 6 times. The weather file used is Chicago. What are the possible reasons that would lead to such a  change? 

To do the VAV conversion i converted Zone HVAC Air Loop Terminal Units to Constant Volume, Fans to constant volume, removed the damper. My file is running without errors. 

Is my method of making it Constant Volume ok? Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

J
