font-family:Arial'>I am doing the energy model for LEED compliance and I am
modeling the base case with a Packaged Rooftop Variable Air Volume System to
compare with my VAV system for the design case. I reverse engineered my
design case to modify the mechanical system, but all of the simulations
indicate I have 15,000 hours outside of the throttle range. My hotwater
loop has two boilers and my heating coils are assigned to the loop, but there
does not seem to be any output from the system. The system report summary
indicates that it is not serving any square footage, so I think there is a bug
somewhere. I have fiddled with the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">THROTTLE</st1:PlaceName>
<st1:PlaceType w:st="on">RANGE</st1:PlaceType></st1:place>, HEAT-CONTROL,
COOL-CONTROL, HEAT-SET-T, and MIN-SUPPLY-T after reading various posts
but nothing changes the lack of heat. I’ve also fiddled with
baseboard heat and pre-heat but nothing seems to affect the hours outside
of throttle range. Does anyone have any suggestions?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
