Hey, Im using OpenStudio 2.8.0 and try to use Ideal Air Loads to calculate the energy demand for space heating and cooling. I have added heating and cooling setpoint which works, and keeps my thermal zones within the temperature limits at all times.

It does however not control the reative humidity in the zones at all. I have made schedules for humidifing (30%) and dehumidifing (70%) and added the scheules in the setpoint schedules. There is no effect on the results.

Does anyone have any ideas what the reason for this might be?

Update: I've also tried Ideal Air Loads Zone HVAC. In this measure, Control: Humidistat, works. Or the simulation runs,

Thanks for your answer! I've downloaded the Ideal Loads Options measure now, where I see the options for humidification
