Thanks a lot Ammar! I understand and it makes sense now.

Hi all,

it is my first time typing here and asking for some help. I am having issues in setting the cooling to zero.

My goal is to run a simulation where in the rooms there is a heating system (simplified, i just need to understand how much heating we need to keep the internal temperature abiove a certain target) but not cooling system.

I have built my EnergyPlus model through the GH-plugins HB and LB. Therefore, i set the coolign setpoint to 100°C in order to not have any cooling. However, i have Ideal cooling Loads more than 0 and no matter what changes i do (limit flow rate or limit capacity of the cooling to 0), i still have Ideal Cooling Loads more than 0. I also tried to build it from scratch again through Zone HVAC: Zone controls and Thermostats (ZoneControl:Thermostat, ThermostatSetpoint:SingleHeating) but i wasn't able to make it work unfrotunately.

Here below you can find the link to my .idf file: https://drive.google.com/drive/folder...

It would be great if you can help me with this.

Thanks a lot

Hi Anmar, thanks a lot for your comment. The output is Zone Idea Loads Zone Total Cooling rate. Btw I tried to change

Hi Aaron, thanks. I actually just tried to attach the .idf file now but i receive the following comment: "allowed file
