@sde - didn't you already ask this question: https://unmethours.com/question/26300/3d-geometry-view-of-gbxml-files/

Please tag your question with the software you are using.

In EnergyPlus you need to define a thermostat object and reference that thermostat for your equipment. In OpenStudio you

I think there a few options for shade control to accomplish what youre trying (example: http://bigladdersoftware.com/epx

Zone temperature setpoint != zone temperature; you could check zone temperatures to confirm all adjacent zones are same

Very nice points.

I think you are going to get different answers here from different people, but you seem to be asking a plant/system opti

Is this the zone level cooling peak? What date/time of day does it occur and what is the geography? Do all peaks for all

I think you want one chiller and one tank, in parallel. Also - what are the units of tank capacity? Maybe its too small?

When I started reading, I was going to suggest warmup days, but you have certainly looked at that aspect. Are you doing

Your supply/design air flowrate should account for ventilation loads; I recommend refering to the Engineering Reference

Glad it worked - I think the protocol when you get the solution is to select an answer and append the question with '[cl

How much is the error? There may be meters that are not setup (meaning they need to be defined) in order to capture all

Aha - most examples I see have the ice storage in parallel; you have it in series here. Unless control is setup properly

I don't have much experience with ice storage in OS, but there are quite a few posts on this site for ice storage in bot

Thanks; not sure why I didn't think of modifying the reduce loads by percentage measure!

Hey everyone - first post; read a lot of posts over the years, thanks to everyone who contributes. I'm getting started a little late with OpenStudio and hoping someone can help me iron out some issues I'm having with measure creation using a simple example. I do not have much experience with Ruby or Python, apologies in advance.

I'm looking to create a measure that modifies the Electric Equipment object to set a W/m^2 density. I started with the "Set Lighting Loads by LPD" from the BCL, and did a quick copy/paste of the directory and renamed as "Set Plug Loads by Density". I've tried a couple of modifications (i.e., removing reference to luminaire objects which aren't applicable to plug loads) without success. My thought is that all I should need to do is replace the "LightsDefinition" reference to "ElectricEquipmentDefinition", but I get a failure during 'Processing OpenStudio Measures".

Can anyone shed light on this measure/clarify if I'm not understanding the OS objects correctly?

I'm also seeing two indicators in the Measures screen that I'm hoping someone can also clarify (I don't see in documentation on this site or OS documentation): a red triangle with exclamation point when a measure is dragged into the project, and what looks like a piece of paper broken in the measures library (I assume this means the file is not formatted correctly/missing components).

If I'm understanding your question correctly, you may be looking for the OutputControl:Table:Style object. There is one

As a follow-up to this question, has anyone come up with a way of removing HVAC that is not attached to a thermal zone (
