Single heating demand output instead of 'per room' when assigning hvac in honeybee 1.0

[hamhans]

Hello

This error occurred after I assigned HVAC to the rooms.

I’m trying to simulate a collection of HB Rooms in honeybee 1.0

However, I only get one result for heating demand, instead of one per room. Same with cooling.

I have tried to find the error but I can’t find what it is

Using Openstudio 3.0 and e+ 9.4

Any hints and help are appreciated

@hamhans ,

The heating and cooling energy use of detailed HVAC is reported for each piece of HVAC equipment and therefore cannot be matched to rooms. If you want to color rooms with cooling/heating DEMAND (which can be matched to rooms), you should use an ideal air loads system.

Yes, @AbrahamYezioro has correctly identified the use of (non ideal air) detailed HVAC as the source of the error. But it’s not a bug and let me explain why you aren’t able to construct energy balances or match data to rooms with detailed HVAC results. When you run a simulation with detailed HVAC, the energy use happens on the basis of each piece of HVAC equipment rather than each room like ideal air systems. So I can have one boiler that serves 10 rooms and I can get the fuel energy use of th…
