2018-01-13 13:22:35 -0500 marked best answer Dehumidification using Hvac Template:Zone:Ideal loads airsystem

Hi! I am using HVACTEMPLATE:ZONE:IDEALLOADSAIRSYSTEM and I want to limit the temperature to 26°C and the humidity to 60%. I set the Dehumidification Control Type to constant sensible heat ratio and the Dehumidification Setpoint to 0.6. However it seems to have no effect on the humidity. Is there any way I can limit the relative humidity to a constant value ?? Thank you in advance!

2018-01-11 13:43:57 -0500 marked best answer OpenStudio Fails to Import Energyplus Model

Hello! I'm new to Open Studio and I tried to import an .idf file, previously generated in EnergyPlus. In EnergyPlus I can simulate it without any error. When I simulate it in Open Studio it doesnt work. it seems to be unable to finde some schedules. I get the error 'Field [Activity Level Schedule Name] is required but was blank' Although this schedule exists. I use Open Studio Version 2.1.0 and EnergyPlus 8.7 which, according to the release notes, should work together... Are there some settings I have to change before I can import it in Open Studio?
