[EnergyPlus_Support] Help on interlocking chilled water pump to chiller operation



Hi all,

I am trying to model a baseline case for ASHRAE 90.1 with water cooled chiller. As ASHRAE requires each chiller to be modeled with a separate chilled water pump that is interlocked to the associated chiller operation, I placed the constant power pumps on each chiller branch and also added a bypass branch.

The problem is the pumps even the chillers are not operating and thus consuming a lot more energy than I expected. I have already set the pump operation into INTERMITTENT and change the chillers' unloading ratio to 0.

Is there anything I missed on input?

Thanks.
