[esp-r] Re: cooling

[Achim Geissler]

Dear Arianna,

the information about the model is a bit scarce.
- do you have an afn defined?
- how is this affected by closing doors?
- could closing doors reduce night time cooling (if any)?
- how is the AC modelled? Do ducts run through zones that may become warmer by closing doors?
- how do surface temperatures of the living room change after closing doors (i.e., does the bedroom become hot and what is the construction between these zones)?
- is the cooling load absolutely higher or relatively?

… and maybe a few more I am not thinking about, right now.

Cheers,
Achim

I am controlling some air conditioning in the living room only from May to September. So, I thought that by closing the door of the living room I would get a lower cooling load. But actually if I close all doors in the house I get a slightly higher cooling load and a lower heating load. Do you know why? Let me know,
