Revision history [back]

I am studying the results using an idf file with ideal loads instead of HVAC detailed, and I am finding unexpected results. I am considering the original location (Buffalo, NY, USA), whose weather is winter-dominated. However, the ideal load for cooling (257.92 GJ) is 2.3 times larger than that for heating (111.28 GJ). On the other hand, for the original idf (that with HVAC), the energy for heating (225.11 GJ) is much larger than that for coolig (70.95 GJ), which seems to be far more reasonable than the results for ideal loads.

I am studying analyzing the results using an of two idf file files with ideal loads instead of HVAC detailed, using hvac-template and hvac-detailed.

I wonder what is happening and why??
