Hi Sajal,
I canâ??t help to do this directly in EnergyPlus but â??mixed-modeâ?? modelling using both natural and mechanical cooling can be very easily modelled using DesignBuilder (which uses EnergyPlus as its simulation engine). Here is a link to our Help File which explains the different mechanisms available: http://www.designbuilder.co.uk/helpv4.7/#Mixed_mode.htm?Highlight=mixed mode
I hope you find it useful.
Kind regards,
Regards,

Dear All,Can you give me some suggestions about EP simulation steps on Natural Ventilation System integrating Conventional Cooling System? I want to proceed simulation with Natural ventilation strategies and want to input (integrate) conventional cooling system together. Is it possible? Thank you.
