Personally, I just set up a permanent opening for open zone connections like that. So draw a "door" covering most of th

Well, if you're using the AFN then the answer is to use the EMS to create a better control system - see my answer here.

Yeah, this is a thing that happens annoyingly often. Normally the simplest solution, as you say, is to go back to an ear

This could be caused by ventilation or cooling clashes. It's something I've encountered before when trying to implement

Hmm, that should do something yeah. Another few things you could look at (though they probably aren't the answer): W

In terms of diagnosing what's going on, the first question I'd ask is how big the eaves are? Maybe try adding some reall

I'll note several points to be aware of if using it: Window opening areas for wind driven and stack ventilation aren't

There are two basic paths here in EnergyPlus: Use the simple ZoneVentilation objects to apply ventilation to your zone

As an addendum to this, note also that by default EnergyPlus's setpoints refer to the air temperature. This differs from

In general the answer is that you can set up hourly outputs like below, using Output:Variable. You can then find the out

The Honeybee plugin for grasshopper has this capability - the simplest way to see what outputs you'll want is I think to

There is a trick that allows you to do this actually. While the basic zone infiltration/ventilation objects do not work

Thanks! That makes sense yeah.

Thanks for the reply. I've edited in my room air model settings and exhaust fan setup above - they're fairly basic. I've

RoomAirModel exhaust temperature offset does not affect exhaust heat transfer? I was applying a vertical temperature gra

Mmm, I haven't been using the Balanced Exhaust fraction at all. Toggling it between 1 and 0 though doesn't have any effe

Can you show us what your input for the Output:Meter object is?

If you change the Timestep to 1 minute by setting the number of timesteps per hour to 60 that would allow it. To get th

A possible answer is that it's your shadow calculation algorithm. I ran into this problem in the past when I tried to u

Temperature stratification with mezzanine zone – possible to model? I’ve got an apartment with a living/kitchen zone on

The mezzanine was zoned separately because it's a bedroom, which has very different internal gains, occupancy, operation

I'd seen some of them yeah - though there were some that I hadn't found so thanks for those. None of them really get at

EnergyPlus EMS sensors not read at first timestep of warmup? I was attempting to write a simple EMS script to vary the c
