[EnergyPlus_Support] Dimming Control with Ideal Loads





Hi all,

I can't seem to trigger dimming control using daylight controls. I tried up upload my file but I cannot zip files on this computer.

The key objects of interest are the following (I would greatly appreciate any input)

WindowProperty:ShadingControl,
    Blind_ShadingControl,    !- Name
    InteriorBlind,           !- Shading Type
    ,                        !- Construction with Shading Name
    OnIfHighGlare,           !- Shading Control Type
    ,                        !- Schedule Name
    22,                      !- Setpoint {W/m2, W or deg C}
    ,                        !- Shading Control Is Scheduled
    Yes,                     !- Glare Control Is Active
    Low_Reflectivity_Slats_Blind,  !- Shading Device Material Name
    BlockBeamSolar,          !- Type of Slat Angle Control for Blinds
    ;                        !- Slat Angle Schedule Name

Daylighting:Controls,
    C_S_W,                   !- Zone Name
    2,                       !- Total Daylighting Reference Points
    27.197,                  !- X-Coordinate of First Reference Point {m}
    1.794,                   !- Y-Coordinate of First Reference Point {m}
    0.8,                     !- Z-Coordinate of First Reference Point {m}
    28.238,                  !- X-Coordinate of Second Reference Point {m}
    4.793,                   !- Y-Coordinate of Second Reference Point {m}
    0.8,                     !- Z-Coordinate of Second Reference Point {m}
    0.5,                     !- Fraction of Zone Controlled by First Reference Point
    0.5,                     !- Fraction of Zone Controlled by Second Reference Point
    500,                     !- Illuminance Setpoint at First Reference Point {lux}
    500,                     !- Illuminance Setpoint at Second Reference Point {lux}
    1,                       !- Lighting Control Type
    180,                     !- Glare Calculation Azimuth Angle of View Direction Clockwise from Zone y-Axis {deg}
    22,                      !- Maximum Allowable Discomfort Glare Index
    0.3,                     !- Minimum Input Power Fraction for Continuous Dimming Control
    0.2,                     !- Minimum Light Output Fraction for Continuous Dimming Control
    0,                       !- Number of Stepped Control Steps
    1;                       !- Probability Lighting will be Reset When Needed in Manual Stepped Control

I have also set the 'fraction replaceable' to 1 on the lights.

All input is greatly appreciated

Thanks
