[EnergyPlus_Support] Re: Radiant Floor vs Forced Air

["ecoeficiente@xxxxxxxxx [EnergyPlus_Support]" <EnergyPlus_Support@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Jim, my two cents:

I see clearly different air temperature curves. Heated floor model is not fast enough to reach setpoint temperature during the day while keeps temperature drop rate during the night.

I think that the contained not met loads is due to the ZoneControl:Thermostat:OperativeTemperature object in the heated floor model idf. Removing it, not met hours get duplicated (being based on air temperature).

Just looking at the temperature curves I can imagine that the difference in heat consumption is proportional to the areas I've painted in red and yellow in the results for air temperature:
