In the attached, energy plus version 9, test file that uses purchased cooling the "cooling load" changed from 1,018,159 kBtu to 990,412 kBtu . The only thing I changed was to zero out the pump head. |

The system also provides outside air and looking to close the outside air dampers when the fan cycles at night. How could I achieve this? The setup I have below does cycle the fan at night but also brings in outside air during night fan cycling. |

2016-11-07 17:18:02 -0500 | commented answer | Constant volume system, design temperature influence. The two models are Identical except for the change in the zone sizing temperature. There is no cooling in the model. I do not know why it would control to different temperatures in either case. Maybe there is some numerical instability and there is some impact as to what end of the deadband it is controlled to. A small change may be acceptable. But a 7% change does seem quite high, Would you agree. |
2016-11-07 09:45:29 -0500 | commented answer | Constant volume system, design temperature influence. Sorry, I don't understand what your answer intends to convey. Why is anything other than the fan power changing. To your point about improbable model, I originally had a proper LEED model with heatpump heating and cooling. Found the savings jump 10% with changes just to the zone sizing temperature. To debug the same I created a very simple electric heating only model to minimize influence of other parameters. Moreover, Why should it matter weather the model is probable or not? |
2016-10-31 08:51:22 -0500 | commented question | Constant volume system, design temperature influence. @Tian, As I indicated I zeroed out the fan energy. the outputs attached indicate no fan energy consumed. For some reason there is a 7% change in the heating subcategory. |
