Revision history [back]

I try to simulate a green roof with EnergyPlus with my own meteorological data. I read my precipitation [m per hour] data from a text file (tab separated columns, decimal separator is a point) via the object schedule:file. I get no errors but the precipitation output values do not correspond well to my input values. The timesteps with precipitation are mostly correct (but not always) and the output values are much higher but there is no constant factor (but the majority is a factor of 29.5 higher than the input)...Exactly the same happens when I try to use the irrigation schedule. I would be very happy if anyone could give me a hint what's going wrong here (I tried EP versions 8.1 and 8.6).
