Hi Jim,

So to comply with the requirement I need to set the supplemental heating coil object type to Coil Heating Eletric and Maximum Outdoor Dry-Bulb Temperature for Supplemental Heater Operation to 4° C?

Thanks,

Fabiano Ferreira

I have found a document:
http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=ashrae+heat+G3.1.3.1&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CCAQFjAA&url="">
I think I did confusion between defrost and "electric auxiliary heat"... The electric auxiliary heat shall be a specific electric coil. In EnergyPlus what is the best solution to model the control of electric auxiliary heat system according to G3.1.3.1?
