Revision history [back]

I identified the "issue". EnergyPlus is characterizing the unfinished basement thermal zone as conditioned because it has a WaterHeater:HeatPump:WrappedCondenser (heat pump water heater) in it, even though there is no space heating/cooling equipment serving it. So the BEopt model is defined correctly, but EnergyPlus is not able to correctly infer the conditioned zones.
