Hi,

I'm wondering if anyone could assist me with the following modeling issue. Actually, I'm modeling a single-room office building in a summer day- while MAT is not following the cooling setpoint temperature for the beginning hours of the day (having zero cooling loads for those hours- regardless of the setpoint temperature for those hours of the day).

While it seems to be an occupancy schedule, I already changed the schedule of the Fan(on/off) as well as my cooling HVAC (Coil:Cooling:DX:SingleSpeed) to Always_On (which is basically a fractional schedule of 1 for all 24 hours of the day).

Here is the link to the idf file that I'm referring to: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qDIo...

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! Sincerely, Mohammad

Please don't directly mention people in your questions. Add the appropriate tags (this is not the case right now) and it will be correctly seen. I suggest tagging it with your software to begin with (energyplus for eg)

Yuo do not have enough cooling capacity to jump from 29.44 °C to 17 °C in only 6 h Reduce your SummerDesignDay setpoint temperature and you'll see. Anyway you have to stay over the min. htg setpoint, therefore eventually change that value too.

It is not a regulation issue, but a capacity issue
