AED (Adequate Exposure Diversity)
We are looking at simulating a small house and are trying to determine if it meets adequate exposure diversity (AED) per Manual J, which is defined as:
A system has adequate exposure diversity if the peak-hour glass load for the entire conditioned space does not exceed the average glass load for the entire conditioned space by more than 30 percent.
So I have run the simulation in BEopt and have added the following variables in Energyplus, now with the hourly glass load, any advice on trying to process this?
