RE: [EnergyPlus_Support] LEED template and Energyplus

The allsummary repport gives you the end uses and the peak energy, take the csv output file and youare going to find this.

I used Demand End Use Components Summary for LEED Documentation (according energyplus documentation), but in a recent project, the reviewer team has send me a observation about this issue, because the Demand End Uses Components Summary Plots demand in peak time for each energy source. (not by end uses separatedly). this situation becomes particularly unpleasant when,by example, a project uses electricity for heating and cooling and then the peak time is only showed for heating time or only cooling time (wichever is greater).

For address this issue i use the Output Table: Summary Reports: PeakEnergyEndUseElectricityPart1Monthly, PeakEnergyEndUseElectricityPart2Monthly, PeakEnergyEndUseNaturalGasMonthly, PeakEnergyEndUseDieselMonthly, etc.

I hope I hope my explanation will be helpful.

Thank you.

I use this report summary, but I am seeing an unusual result this time.

The time of peak has shifted from 06:00 hours on Feb 2 to 00:00 hours on feb 2 on the 270 degree orientation alone. The 0, 90, 180 orientations have the time of peak as same 06:00 hours on Feb 2. The heating energy consumption stays very close to what it is in other orientations, but I am not sure how the peak would get shifted by changing the orientation. The South and North sides are glazed, maybe there is a difference in glazing % between the two cases, but I am not sure how it will affect HEATING at 00:00 and 06:00 hours...The boiler gas consumption output is very very similar on two cases. I hope someone has an answer to this situation. Thank you.

Hello All,

While filling out the LEED template Section 1.6, where do you get the Peak Demand numbers from in the EnergyPlus reports.

Look forward to hearing from someone soon. Thank you.
