Revision history [back]

EnergyPlus models HVAC equipment with part-load performance curves. It is not meant to model HVAC cycling and controls at the <3 min level or less. If you want to compare HVAC equipment and controls at a high temporal resolution, you'll need to use some other software such as the Modelica Buildings Library.

The next major version update to EnergyPlus Spawn of EnergyPlus is in development and will allow users to incorporate Modelica controls and definitions for HVAC equipment.
