I think I can point Susan in the right direction at least. First read this:<br><br><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">For example, if
the heating/cooling setpoints are 70/75, the
throttling range is 0.5F (throttling range is centered about the
setpoint),
then the heating/cooling trigger temperatures for these reports are
68.75F and
76.25F (half the throttling range plus 1F).</span><br>
<br>So you have 72 for heating and 74 for cooling. That means for heating your trigger temperature is 72 +/- 2F +/- 1F for 69F and 75F , for cooling you have 71F and 77F. So your heating/cooling trigger temperatures are crossing. That seems like it could cause a problem like you are experiencing.<br>
<br>WRT to the other temp, 70 F in the space, read the online help for setting this temp and follow it.<br><br>Cheers,<br>Carol<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Apr 22, 2010 at 10:19 AM, Howe, Timothy <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:Timothy.Howe@stantec.com">Timothy.Howe@stantec.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

from the files? A text editor should allow you to find any “incriminating
evidence” and you can switch the weather file location so we won’t
even know where in the world it’s located :-) Unless you’re
modeling the pentagon, in which case I’ll quiet down.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0.5in;">Unfortunately due to the sensitive nature of the
project I cannot send the files. I have checked and my heating/cooling
schedules are assigned to the right locations. <br>
<br>
Could it be related to the design temperatures I have indicated for each
zone? The tstat schedules are as I have stated below but I have the
design temperatures at 74 cooling and 72 heating. The load temperature
(in the space definition) is 70. My throttling range is 2. Would
any of this cause problems?</p>

While in detailed data edit go onto one of your thermal zone spreadsheets to
look at your schedules. You will be able to see them easily from there. Make
sure you haven't accidentally put your heating schedule in where your cooling
schedule should be. If this doesn't work zip up your .inp and .pd2 files and
send them to us.<br>
<br>
Good luck,<br>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0.5in;">I have a model that does not seem to be switching the
thermostat between heating and cooling. When I output the hourly data for
the Zone Thermostat Setting it seems to always be the heating setpoints (70
occupied and 64 unoccupied). Any idea why this wouldn't be changing over
to cooling setpoints (75 occupied and 82 unoccupied) during the warmer months?<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance. </p>
