2023-10-23 21:21:37 -0500 marked best answer Surface Construction Index

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone could please help on the Surface Construction Index output variable. More specifically, I need to identify the equivalent surfaces that I'm getting under Surface Construction Index file per timestep in the csv - where my construction is subject to change using an EMS Program.

I already added the Output:Diagnostics to the idf. However, I'm not sure how to interpret the surface construction names (in the csv file), such as 35, 37,.... I tried to match those surfaces in the .eio file, but I was not able to do so.

Please find the eio file attached.

Thanks!

Hi all,

I was wonderring if anyone knows what is the reference pressure for Air Change per Hour (ACH) under ZoneInfiltration:DesignFlowRate object.

More specifically, for AirChanges/Hour field, is the pressure difference based of 4 Pascals ACH or 50, ?

Thanks, Mohammad

2023-10-11 11:53:57 -0500 marked best answer EnergyPlus WaterHeater Error: Target water temperature less than hot water temperature

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone could help me with the following EnergyPlus question. More specifically, I'm modeling a water heater object for a single-family model (WaterHeater:Mixed). While the model ran successfully, I found the following error, that has repeated for each fixture:

Target water temperature should be less than or equal to the hot water temperature error continues... * ~~~ * ...target water temperature = 48.89 C * ~~~ * ...hot water temperature = 47.58 C

I tried to resolve that error by applying the following potential resolutions, but non of them worked:

  1. Incresed DHW loop setpoint temperature using SetpointManager:Scheduled
  2. Increased Water Heater Maximum Temperature Limit

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks, Mohammad
