Energy+ Simulation - Heating values doubt

Hi Saeran,

thank you for you reply. I checked multiple times everything that has to do with the orders of zones, everything is fine. I also tried the Normalize Data by Floor Area component, it gives the same values.

Here I run the simulation just for the 2 types of buildings, same extreme result. You can see the energy demands for each zone (yellow txt) floor area (green txt), name (black txt) + on the GH definition you can see it’s the numbers straight from the e+ component, so no shuffling of zones there. (These values are the same if I run simulation only with solely with the large building.)

As another test I tried the same simulation with no changes in Construction - taking default Honeybee constructions for MidRiseApartment zone program, I guess. Then my end energy values seem quite logical: Tiny house - 58.88 kWh/m2a and the Apt. house with 40.8 kWh/m2a.

The constructions are layers that I took from real passive house examples like triple glazed windows with U=0,8 W/m2-K, 40cm insulation walls. So my guess is these values are simply too optistimic for a larger apartment house? Maybe they don’t calculate well will such large Zone as a whole floor and I should try splitting the mass at least 1 HBzone / apartment.

Thanks again.
