Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] PMV





I already checked that, no the values are not lagging by one time step. The values are very different. If I want to actuate the PMV values, is it necessary to activate the thermal comfort thermostat so that the PMV actuator appears in the EDD file. If I have to activate the thermostat how can I do so so that only the actuator appears but the thermostat itself is not operational.

First check to see if the values are lagging by one timestep, e.g at 16:10 did the regular output have 0.58.  Often the Erl value will be lagged one timestep behind a regular one.

I am sensing the Zone Thermal Confort Fanger PMV values. I am then using them in IF statements and have them as Erl outputs. On the other hand, I am also viewing the regular zone thermal comfort Fanger PMVvalues as output. Problem is these two outputs Erl PMV values and regular PMV values for the zones should be same but they are not. Why?
For example at 16:20 Erl PMV values for top floor perimeter zone 4 is EMS:Erl Top Flr Zone 4 PMV[] (TimeStep)=  0.58
but regular PMV output for zone 4 top floor is PERIMETER_TOP_ZN_4 PEOPLE:Zone Thermal Comfort Fanger Model PMV [](TimeStep)=0.26.
