Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Re: Fan On/Off depends on another zone temperature



Hello,

In your case, I do not know the significance of room A. If room A is acting like a sink to just cool off Room B when it gets overheated, and room A is unconditioned, then you really don't need to worry about room A. Room B can be cooled by exhausting air if the room temperature rises above a certain degree by using ZoneVentilation:DesignFlowRate (correction). Hope this makes sense.

Hi Vinay,

Thanks for your reply.
I can't find 'Zoneventilation:DesignAirFlow'. Do you mean 'ZoneVentilation:DesignFlowRate'?
The I/O reference says the DesignFlowRate is for ventilation of air from outdoor environment into thermal zone. So is it possible to set the outdoor as a zone?

I have tried using the 'AvailabilityManager:DifferentialThermostat' but still having problems with the simulation. I have post this question in another post "Modelling under-slab subfloor void - fan control"

Regards.
