[EnergyPlus_Support] Re: Classes to use to perform a simple Cooling/Heating loads simulation??



Hi Richard,

Thank you for your answer, I also checked Exercise1A.idf, and I set Schedules successfully.

I am getting confused with variable "Zone Total Internal Latent Gain" and specially comparing variables "Zone/Sys Sensible Heating Energy" and "Zone/Sys Sensible Cooling Energy" with meters "DistrictHeating:Facility" and "DistrictCooling:Facility"

I have been comparing different simulations updating "Dehumidification Control Type" and "Humidification Control Type" fields in "ZoneHVAC:IdealLoadsAirSystem"  from None, ConstantSensibleRatio, ConstantSupplyHumidityRatio

I guess I should use "DistrictHeating:Facility" and "DistrictCooling:Facility" to get more realistic values but I am getting confuse considering what I am reading in the documents.
