2022-05-14 09:17:02 -0500 marked best answer Heating/Cooling load without controlling temperature

Hi,

I have an OpenStudio Model and I want to see how the internal temperature reacts based on a certain wattage value of an ideal heating load. In other words, I want to maintain the heating load and let the internal temperature be whatever value based on the thermal model used by EnergyPlus, instead of maintaining a reference temperature.

Is this possible to be done in OpenStudio. If yes, how? Any help is appreciated.

Daytime and nighttime would be defined by the value of the Site Direct Solar Radiation: if it's 0, then it's nightime, if its bigger than zero, then its daytime. Depending on this time difference, the limits for the thermostat schedules would be different as well.
