Hi to all, I am struggling to find a quick and easy way to control the power capacity (either heating or cooling) of a building at each time step, using EnergyPlus. I am not considering any specific system, so the IdealLoad's object suits me well on this. It has a parameter to limit the power, but as far as I've investigated, I couldn't find a way to make this parameter being controlled by a schedule, actuator or EMS variables. Does anybody know how to make this parameter changeable ? And if not possible using IdealLoads model, what models would be the best to enable the power capacity to be controlled ? Thanks in advance for any help on this Xavier
