[EnergyPlus_Support] Space heating demand. HELP [1 Attachment]

["Giuseppina Buttitta giusybuttitta@xxxxxxxxx [EnergyPlus_Support]" <EnergyPlus_Support@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all!

I have tried to model the energy consumption for heating of a dwelling heated by electric baseboards. All the installed electric baseboards are controlled by a thermostat.

However, the results I obtained look weird to me.

The heating energy request is not constant during the period but it has a really big peak when the heaters are turnud on and then the request is quite small during the rest of the day (see attached picture). It looks like the heaters are oversized for the dwellings.

I tried to check again my code several times but everything seems fine.

Do you have any idea what the problem could be?

I know it is a vague request, but probably it has already happened to some of you.

Thanks,

Giusi
