RE: [EnergyPlus_Support] Can we model than 5 zones per floor?





You have very high electricity usage.
 
This should be removed or minimized to HVAC typical  for comparison.
 
It will always reduce heating cost and increase cooling cost.
 
It can even make the building run cooling mode in Winter.

Subject: [EnergyPlus_Support] Can we model than 5 zones per floor?

 
Hi 

I have attached my question and image for better discussion on multiple zone per floor. I really appreciate all thought. 

I am doing a research on building typologies to compare energy demand, embodies carbon, water, etc. from Super-tall building, high-rise, mid-rise, low-rise, to single home family in the same amount of units. I am using OpenStudio for interface and run EnergyPlus for energy simulation. I would like to set the best base line medelling strategy which will effect to all building typologies energy performance. 

ASHRAE 90.1 appendix G. has described on perimeter spaces should locate within 5 meter (15 feet). but in real building the lease space can be more than 5 meter.
 There are corridor and service core which both are different conditions and schedules. How could we possibly model just 5 zone per floor?
