Just looking at your INP file quickly, it appears you have several electric unit heaters that are trying to keep spaces heated to the same 72 degree temperature as the rest of the building. You may want to put those spaces on a separate schedule with a lower thermostat setting as they are unoccupied and not necessary to keep at high temperatures unless desired by owner. Those systems should also be taken off of any fan schedule so they only turn on when necessary to reach space setpoints. if you eliminate the schedule, make sure to turn on the option of night cycling without OA. <div>

I’m having some trouble with my simulation – I’m currently working on this for a LEED project and I’m putting the proposed design together. I think I’m at the point where I’m about finished with the proposed design. When I run the simulation, it is showing almost as much electric used for heating as I’m using for cooling – the problem is that nearly the entire building uses gas heat. Can someone help me out here?</p>
