In the documentation of EnergyPlus, it is said that "If the integration mode is selected as ‘DECOUPLED’ then no adjustments are made to account for energy extracted in the form of electricity. If the integration mode is selected as ‘INTEGRATED’ then the energy extracted in the form of electricity is removed from surface heat transfer calculations using a sink term."
However, the heating and cooling load do not change when I change the heat transfer integration mode from 'decoupled' to 'Integration'. In addition, the heating and cooling load do not change with the PV area when I set the integration mode as 'IntegratedSurfaceOutsideFace'.
Is there any problem with my settings or just EnergyPlus actually can not handle this issue?
Can anyone help me with this problem? I will really appreciate it!
P.S: the version of EnergyPlus I use is V8.7.0
