Baseboard central air source heat pump HVAC problem- heating energy is zero

Hi everyone,

I am new to LadybugTools, I am using the newest version of it, and playing around witht the “Single family energy model”. When I want to add a different HVAC system, exactly “Baseboard centrail air source heat pump” since I want to modell Heat pump with radiator, at the “HB Read Room Energy Result” there is nothing for heating. When I remove it there is heating but with it there is no. My aim is to set up a little bit more complex energy study, comfort too with air source heat pump+ radiator.
Can you tell me what I am doing wrong or why does it not work?
Thank you in advance for your help! :slight_smile:


It seems, it does not matter which system I select, the cooling and heating values are always empty (yellow).

Hi @Akos, the second picture, the yellow components message gives you your answer. For load balance, no HVAC other than ideal air can be used
Even when chatgpt (is good at E+) was asked “how to acquire energy balance of energyplus simulation” the answers consistently relied upon ideal air loads HVAC type.

Hi @TrevorFedyna Thank you so much for your feedback. Yeah It is true and I tried to use the other component, and also playing around with the comfort components and EUI, so more questions I will have. THanks :slight_smile:
