Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] AHU air temperature control



Look at:

SetpointManager:SingleZone:Heating,
SetpointManager:SingleZone:Cooling,

You could use the heating SP manager to place a set point at the heating 
coil outlet node, and the cooling SP manager for a cooling coil.

But in very cold winter day, the heating demand can occur in the interior zone in the case of the all glass curtain-wall building. In this case the discharged air temperature should be set up to 35~40 deg. to satisfy zone heating demand.
