Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Maximum number of warning message for LEED

["Jim Dirkes jim@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [EnergyPlus_Support]" <EnergyPlus_Support@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I recommend that you draft an explanation for the reviewers. Put yourself in their place: they are unfamiliar with the details of the model and need everything explained carefully. The idea is that you demonstrate your own understanding of the problem and tell them why it doesn't matter or does matter.

Thanks for the answer Jim and Julien

But I do need more help. 

Do you have any example file of how to explain the every warning messages?

Or could you please recommend links that give the example how to explain the warning messages from the energyplus result?

Thanks again

Like Jim I had one approved with more than 3 million warnings, 99% of which were repaired psychometrics warnings. As long as you can explain why it doesn't negatively affect your model you're fine.

I think my "personal record" was for a LEED project which had over 3,000,000 warnings. I cannot remember the root cause of those warnings, but I'm fairly sure they were psychrometric warnings like you describe.

I believe that the key is to demonstrate that you fully understand the warnings and their relevance ... and what causes them ... and that they do not compromise the energy model's results.

Certain HVAC systems, like DOAS, tend to produce high numbers of psychrometric warnings.  Some are OK, but you should do some investigation to make sure your model is well-defined and not causing warnings needlessly.

Hi Guys,

I am working on a LEED project just now. I have to fill in the Eap 2 form, and I found that I have to fill the number of warning message. Currently,  I am using EnergyPlus as the simulation program. And my simulation result shows that my model gets to many warning message, more than 1,000,000. Is that any limitation, like maximum number of warning message that can be accepted by the LEED reviewer? the main number of warning come from the relative humidity and enthalphy that out of range. Or in that case, should I remake the model?

Thank You
