I happen to put together a house with absolutely no engineering. To avoid any default settings to take place I gave a “plenum program” to my rooms, that means it is a completely empty construction set. The model worked fine with zero energy usage, then I gave a 20°C heating setpoint.
This house happens to consume 280 kWh/m2 heating energy. with no heating equipment inside
after a brief search, I found a similar post, and simultaneously found myself in the output results that there is indeed a district hot water energy consumption in my project.
trying what has been suggested, i gave zero hot water flow per area and zero target temperature. Also tried a few things like close to zero values but nothing worked. How can you get rid of this energy consumption but still keep the heating setpoints? I want to see unmet hours and want to test out some things that need perfectly controlled circumstances.
