[EnergyPlus_Support] Re: Heating Coil and Cooling Coil are running simultaneously!?!?



Thank you very much for this reply,
I have been using: 
1. HVACTemplate:System:VAV object to adjust setpoints, for heating setpoint was put to 24[C] and cooling setpoint was put to 18[C],
 
2. HVACtemplate:Zone:VAV objects use 11[C] Temp. difference adjusted for both zone heating and zone cooling.
 
3. Thermostat setpoints are 20[C] for heating and 22[C] for cooling.

Please advise.

Hisham
