I am working on modeling phase change meterials in Energy Plus to model phase change materials, Here is an example what I am working on creating output visualization (once I get the modeling figured out) https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Angnu5sp0FF9dFB6RlNYSkZyMW5MUTd0cmNxZGhpbncI ran an experiment with the generic data from the example phase change materials IDF, as well as four varieties of data configuration and bench marked them against an identical building with no phase change materials and was very disturbed at the results.All buildings with phase change use exactly the same amount of energy!It makes me wonder if the phase change calculations are not really using the input data, as the energy is the same kBtu for each.. Below is the graph and here are links to my analysis sheets..

The results piloted below
Any help or advise would be great, as I want to compare phase change products, brands and technologies but if the enthalpy temperature data does not change the outcome then that seems impossible.--Jeremiah D.
