Revision history [back]

Currently working with DOE commercial reference buildings as a starting point to do high level HVAC analysis, swapping out HVAC systems. I am fairly confident I have rebuilt the HVAC equipment and plant loops in OpenStudio after importing the commercial reference building IDF from SketchUp, but the output results are very different, as much as 3 times higher cooling electric consumption from Open Studio simulation with rebuilt HVAC than from original run within Energy+. Are there any other known constructions/schedules/materials that do not transfer into Open Studio when importing an IDF?
