PTHP HVAC & Relative Humidity

Hello Unmet Hours Community, Hello Unmet Hours Community,

I have been given an assignment where I have to model a single box room with an opening and a door and some other additional requirements include

  • Relative Humidity 50%
  • Use a PTHP HVAC system

I have modeled the building with the required door and window dimensions, weather conditions, construction sets and all. But I couldn't find anything related to how to set the relative humidity to the required percentage also how to use PTHP HVAC system. In the HVAC System I created a new model with + and used the "Packaged Rooftop Heat Pump (PRHP)". In this, I only added the thermal zone in the already designed PRHP HVAC. I want to ask if I have done this correctly. Also, does humidity needs to be put in HVAC, as I read it somewhere but couldn't find how to do it. Please also guide me about if there is any schedule that's need to be added for this relative humidity and PTHP HVAC system.

I would be more than grateful if someone could help me with this.

Regards T.S.
