Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] High thermal inertia





heat gets in and cant get out.usually glazing is the issue, but 3 deg C is a good result. it could be much worse. try two things: external shading on windows and using glazing with bad u-value

I'm trying to build a single zone with very thick walls (high thermal inertia) with no internal loads, no HVAC and little infiltration. The zone air temperature should be around the average outdoor temperature. In the results viewer of Open Studio, inertia is effective because there is little variation of the zone air temperature but the zone mean air temperature is above the average outdoor temperature (+3 or 4°C); I don't understand why. Could somebody help me ?
