Revision history [back]

I would like to use EnergyPlus ver25.1 to simulate the following facility. What settings should I use?

Model description:

・Thermal Zones 1 and 2 are adjacent to each other. • All doors are open.

Desired settings:
• Cool Thermal Zone 1 to around 0°C.
• Send air from Thermal Zone 1 to Thermal Zones 2, 3, 4, and 5. Ducts extend from Thermal Zone 1 to each zone.
• Air returns from Thermal Zone 2 to Thermal Zone 1. This is also done via ducts.

Initially, I set this up using ZoneMixing. The simulation completed without issues, but I was unable to achieve the desired results.
I am still not very familiar with EnergyPlus, so I am unsure how to properly configure it.
This simulation pertains to an actual, somewhat specialized facility, and the primary objective is to send the cool air from Thermal Zone 1 to each zone to lower their room temperatures.

I used DeepL to write this question because English is not my native language. Please excuse any awkward phrasing.
