I'm a beginner. I want to simulate annual energy consumption of a building with different periods. There should be four periods, including free running periods in autumn and spring, and air conditioning period in winter and summer. The goal is to make free-running periods as long as possible, that is to say,the air conditioning system should be operated according to comparision between the free-running simulated results and ASHRAE 55 adaptive model temperature. So, is it possible to set this in energyplus directly or I should do simulation of free-running for whole year? Thank you.
