SetpointManager:MultiZone:Heating:Average

edit

Thanks for sharing the file, I have a few questions.

1. I ran an annual simulation for chicago with the file. I get very high unmet hours. Perhaps because it is not being autozied?

2. Usually, which is a preferred setpointmanager for constant volume cooling.SetpointManager:MultiZone:Cooling:Average or setpointmanager:coldest what is the selection criteria?

3. This is perhaps unrelated but, I see that I am getting high unmet "heating" hours for the constant volume system if I use a DX coil (file attached above) but the unmet hours are gone if I use a CHW coil. why could that be?

Not all example files are set up to control properly. The results you see are likely because the coils are not sized properly. The example files are more intended to show how an object should be set up and may not ideally control zone conditions. I think the average SPM will control the zone temperatures closer to the zone set point temperature,on average. The coldest SPM will control the worst case zone to the set point (higher cooling set point temperature) and all other zones may show higher zone temperatures then when the average SPM is used resulting in more unmet hours.
