I'm running overheating simulations in EnergyPlus for a residential building in a hot climate (Damascus, Syria). Even under RCP 8.5 and extreme heatwave conditions (+8°C), the operative temperature never exceeds ~36°C. There is no mechanical cooling or active ventilation in the model.
Is this a known limitation in EnergyPlus? Has anyone experienced this or know how to verify the cause?
Thanks!
