RE: [EnergyPlus_Support] Re: How to set up a Coil:Heating:Water object in a CAV system to controls?

Cannot tell without the IDF.

The error file after running the IDF may tell what is wrong with the code, and it wtill will not tell whether it is designed to work as espected.

Why do you need a setpoint manager to control a air loop?

If the gas burner works, it means that your plant loop is not properly defined. The coil must be correctly connected in the demmand loop of the HW plant loop with a boiler..

Still couldn't make it work. But Gas furnace will work, see those DOE-reference buildings. My understanding is that the setpointmanager:singlezone:heating is not designed to work with water heating coils in the air loop? anyone test it before?
Thanks.

Somehow, it doesn't work as I expected, the zone temperature in winter time can't be maintained. Any help and comments are appreciated. Thanks in advance.
