How to set the cooling to zero
Hi all,
it is my first time typing here and asking for some help. I am having issues in setting the cooling to zero.
My goal is to run a simulation where in the rooms there is a heating system (simplified, i just need to understand how much heating we need to keep the internal temperature abiove a certain target) but not cooling system.
I have built my EnergyPlus model through the GH-plugins HB and LB. Therefore, i set the coolign setpoint to 100°C in order to not have any cooling. However, i have Ideal cooling Loads more than 0 and no matter what changes i do (limit flow rate or limit capacity of the cooling to 0), i still have Ideal Cooling Loads more than 0. I also tried to build it from scratch again through Zone HVAC: Zone controls and Thermostats (ZoneControl:Thermostat, ThermostatSetpoint:SingleHeating) but i wasn't able to make it work unfrotunately.
Here below you can find the link to my .idf file: https://drive.google.com/drive/folder...
It would be great if you can help me with this.
Thanks a lot
@Clu you should have enough karma points now to provide a link to your IDF instead of pasting the IDF contents into your post.
Hi Aaron, thanks. I actually just tried to attach the .idf file now but i receive the following comment: "allowed file types are '.jpg', '.jpeg', '.gif', '.bmp', '.png', '.tiff'".
Is there any other way i can attach it? Thanks Claudia
@Clu you will need to upload your IDF to a file sharing service like Google Drive, Dropbox, etc. and then share a link here for others to access the IDF.
It seems the Google Drive link is restricted since it asks for access. What Output:Variables did you report to check the cooling load?
Hi Anmar, thanks a lot for your comment. The output is Zone Idea Loads Zone Total Cooling rate. Btw I tried to change the access to the Drive to everyone. Hope it works now
