[EnergyPlus_Support] Re: What is the best modelling strategy ? I need help to clarify this issue!!!



I was testing follow you suggestion. I have created a simple box 3m x
3m, one zone per floor for 15 story as base model and to compare with multiplier
model at mid zone. The heating and Cooling in both are almost the same.

Once I did another model by creating multiple zones per one floor (15 story
building) The result came out different way. I am talking about just Cooling and
Heating trend.

In Chicago , Heating dominant therefor I think trend should be Cooling (MJ/m2) <
Heating (MJ/m2) as my testing model (one zone per floor, 3x3m.)But for multiple
zones shows Cooling (MJ/m2) > Heating (MJ/m2).

Is there any consideration between one zone per floor and multiple zone per
floor? Any thought
