I am running a model with several zones. It seems to me that there is some component in the heating system that is not responding to the control strategy. The attached graph illustrates the problem (heating not working). Any hint about what may be not working?
This zone is controlled as follows: ---------------------------------------------- SetpointManager:Scheduled, Air Loop Setpoint Manager, !- Name Temperature, !- Control Variable 29_deg_heating, !- Schedule Name Air Loop Supply Side Outlet 2; !- Setpoint Node or NodeList Name same also applies for the cooling cooling airloop the schedules are always fixed for AllDays at 29 and 14 degress C (heating and cooling outlet air temperature) ------------------------------------------------ AvailabilityManager: Scheduled these are always on ------------------------------------------------ Schedule:Compact, always_4, !- Name Any Number, !- Schedule Type Limits Name Through: 12/31, !- Field 1 For: AllDays, !- Field 2 Until: 24:00, !- Field 3 4 ; !- Field 4 Zone temperatures are controlled by a thermostat set to the DUAL setpoint mode ------------------------------------------------- ThermostatSetpoint:DualSetpoint, Z11_1_DEPARTURES_LD Dual SP, !- Name Z11_1_DEPARTURES_LD Heating Setpoint Schedule, !- Heating Setpoint Temperature Schedule Name Z11_1_DEPARTURES_LD Cooling Setpoint Schedule; !- Cooling Setpoint Temperature Schedule Name
the heating setpoint schedule is the following, 20deg. C and setback at 12deg.C Z11_1_DEPARTURES_LD Heating Setpoint Schedule, !- Name &
