[TRNSYS-users] [Bldg-sim] simulation trend opposite to reality (validation)

[David BRADLEY]

Karol,
   The behavior that you describe is certainly contrary to gut sense. 
However, there are any number of reasons why the simulation might be 
showing you these results, ranging from user error to the equipment 
operating at a much less efficient operating point under lower load 
conditions. I would recommend that you check energy balances in your 
simulation and make sure that it is operating the way that you intend 
for it to.
Regards,
  David
