Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Radiant and Operative temperature



Use AirIdealLoads. It will input energy to control the zone temp to whatever you set it and is the least you can do to control zone temperature. You can even use a comfort thermostat object to control based upon comfort levels - awesome tool to explore the built environment and how it'll feel in your building.

Hello group,

I want to estimate the mean radiant temperature and operative temperature of a zone, in a building. However, I was thinking that instate of simulating the whole building and its zone, to set the air temperature of the zone and in conjunction with the external environment to estimate the indoor variables that I need.

Does anybody know how to set the air temperature of a zone without employing any HVAC system?

Thank you in advance
George Georgiou
