Revision history [back]

Software:Open Studio DOE Prototype building: medium office Location:New York-POUGHKEEPSIE-DUTCHESS Issue: Initially I modeled this building which had lot of heating(natural gas consumption) during summer months.So,in order to curb heating load,I set thermostat to 50F for summer months so that it doesn't get heated.However,after setting thermostat,cooling was also shut down during summer months.It led me to conclude that cooling in the summer months was a function of over-heating in the building. I am using a plant loop HVAC to condition my building with a single reheat for each zone. The boiler and the chiller are auto-sized. I have attached before and after images of consumption and the images for the heating and cooling(/upfiles/15440987863796419.png)(/upfiles/15440987724734488.png)plant loops used. Please let me know how I can achieve significant independent cooling in summer months?

I referred to some past questions on the topic on the blog and some of them suggested adding a sequence number to the cooling and heating zone equipment.Sequencing doesn't seems like an option to me since there is only a heating equipment in the zone.
