Hi Oscar,
Thank you for replying, my thermostat temperature setpoints are 20[C] for heating and 22[C] for cooling. I am even autosizing air flow rates for DOAS and FCUs (for experimenting).
In fact, I always have this problem of temperature setpoints not met hours to be very large, like for the example I explained:
Time Setpoint Not Met During Occupied Heating: 4341.75[h]
Time Setpoint Not Met During Occupied Cooling: 5998[h]
Time Not Comfortable Based on Simple ASHRAE 55-2004: 5998[h]
I guess this is the main issue, which is, if solved, will solve thermal comfort non-sense. How can I reduce these hours to be in ASHRAE 90.1 range ~300[h]? I even set sizing parameters for heating and cooling to value of 2 (for experimenting with autosizing) but didn't change much, it even got a little more worse.
Thank you very much for your help.
Hisham.
