"Time not Comfortable" calculation method
Hi, In my experiments on EP, I have run a simulation for an office to analyse the results. I do not expect the results to comply with ASHRAE 55-2004 standard. I just want to check how the program calculates different parameters.
The last section of the performance summary shows that I have 3226.67 Not Comfortable hours. However, the sum of each of the following output variables:
*Output:Variable,*,Zone Thermal Comfort ASHRAE 55 Simple Model Summer Clothes Not Comfortable Time,hourly; !- Zone Sum [hr]
Output:Variable,*,Zone Thermal Comfort ASHRAE 55 Simple Model Winter Clothes Not Comfortable Time,hourly; !- Zone Sum [hr]
Output:Variable,*,Zone Thermal Comfort ASHRAE 55 Simple Model Summer or Winter Clothes Not Comfortable Time,hourly; !- Zone Sum [hr]
neither gives this number. Any ideas how I will go about this issue?
Best, ///// Here you can find the modelled office file and the output file. The output file contains the "Time not Comfortable" output variable taken at hourly steps throughout one year. You may wish to have a look as a reference.
