Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] HVAC output



A chiller for example will turn off if the partload ratio drops under 20%. This kind of behavior is possibly true for other kinds of equipment in your system (like your DX units). A good design will add components and or controls to handle the spikes. Checkout the minimum cycle time of the DX units. What do the room air temperatures do? Make sure the space is heating up and cooling down realistically. A small space with perfect insulation, no infiltration and no internal mass may have very fast temperature changes.

I have a building with each zone supplied by a packaged unit (DX coil and gas furnace) and baseboard heater. The HVAC power consumption output shown by E+ has a lot of spikes but when I simply add the pumps, fans, cooling and electric reheat coils and baseboard heaters power consumption I do not see any spikes. Picture attached showing the HVAC power consumption output by E+ and then one generated by adding all HVAC components' power for a single summer day. Why is E+ showing spikes in the HVAC output?
