RE: [EnergyPlus_Support] Multiple HVACTemplates Per Zone Error




Matthew,

You need to use an AHU air loop for providing air to all 5 zones.  It sounds as though you are already doing this and treating it as a DOAS with something like  constant temperature air supply.  A VAV system is not consistent with that approach, however, so I?m not sure what you are up to.  E+ does not allow zone temp control from two independent sources, however.  (But neither does a reasonable real-life system J.)

The fan coils are zone HVAC objects and normally provide all of the temp control.

You?ll have to figure out how to effectively make the E+ 4 pipe fan coil a 2 pipe by making heating or cooling available (but not both)

Hey Everybody,

So I have a system that has central handlers feeding 5 zones, 1 basement, 2 north/south for the 1st and 2nd floor. It then has a room fancoil system that heat/cools the same zones. The fancoil system is two pipe with a switch over where we can only heat or cool at any given time.

I would like to get to the point where I can correctly model the amount of energy we are wasting in switch overs, I have done this in excel already but I would like to figure this out in E+.

In trying to put both a fan coil and a VAV air handler into a zone I received an error regarding the DSOA systems where it is trying to tell me I can't have more than one HVAC Template per system. Is this true?

Any work arounds here?
