Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] ThermostatSetpoint:DualSetpoint heating value not working (?)




If your air is supplied at the correct temperature, as you say, then you just don't have enough flow. If you are autosizing, there are two important sizing objects, namely, sizing:zone and sizing:plant. Furthermore, it is very important to know which schedule values are going to be used during sizing run periods, normally summerdesignday and winterdesignday.
