Thanks. Probably, I should have asked the question in a different way. What I intended to ask was exactly like the last

Thank you very much! This is a very detailed answer. So if we want a constant temperature for a particular season, then go with the control type 1 and 2. However, based on your explanations, I think the dual setting ensures more flexibility in terms of the actual zone load calculations.

I have a fairly simple question about the Dual thermostat schedules in EnergyPlus simulation.

I am trying to make some changes to the default schedule set points and learn the effects for several months in an year.

I am wondering how EnergyPlus decides which schedule to use? For instance, if I want to run the simulation in month of May, whether the EPlus takes the cooling set point only for the calculation? So my question is whether EPlus takes heating set point for some winter months (Jan-April) and then cooling set points for summer months (May-October) and again the heating set point for November and December? Something like this or is the calculation measures are entirely different?

In other words, if I am doing a simulation for the month of April, which setpoint schedule it takes? Heating, Cooling or takes both and calculates the set point from that?

Thanks in advance and any suggestion would be great.

Thanks Albert Thomas

Hi,

I have a fairly simple question about the Dual thermostat schedules in EnergyPlus simulation.

I am trying to make some changes to the default schedule set points and learn the effects for several months in an year.

I am wondering how EnergyPlus decides which schedule to use? For instance, if I want to run the simulation in month of May, whether the EPlus takes the cooling set point only for the calculation? So my question is whether EPlus takes heating set point for some winter months (Jan-March) and then cooling set points for summer months (April-September) and again the heating set point for Oct-Dec? Something like this or is the calculation measures are entirely different?

In other words, if I am simulating for the Month of April, then the EnergyPlus takes the cooling set point schedules for the simulation and ignores the heating set point schedule?

Thanks in advance! If someone could share some link or document that explains this it would be really helpful too.

Thanks, Albert Thomas
