Revision history [back]

I'm struggling for quite a while now with my simulation model in EnergyPlus. I hope someone can give me some advise how to solve this problem.

A short description of my case: I'm modelling a one zone model with one window. The HVAC system consists of: - a climate ceiling with a constant temperature and a variable flow to provide both heating and cooling - a Constant Air Volume (CAV) ventilation with a constant volume of 60 m3/h with a constant temperature of 18oC with humidification and dehumidification

The problem: The climate ceiling works well and provides the appropriate air temperature in the room. But when want to include the CAV ventilation this doesn't work out the way I wanted. I tried several options: IdealLoadAirSytem, model the system myself in different ways. But I didn't manage it to get it right. I think the problem is that the Air system wants to react on a certain thermostat. But in my case the airflow and temperature has to stay constant in a certain humidity range (43-54%) and don't have to react on the room temperature.

Can someone help me to solve this problem?

Can someone help me to solve In the graph below you can see that the dehumidification does not work. By setting a 'temperatureandhumidityratio' in the coil controller I tried to dehumidify the air but it seems not to work this problem?way.
