This means that in theory you can have one set-point for every hour of every day. But practically you can’t define 8760 control for a building. If it is important for you to keep the 24 hours profile for set-point temperature, you can divide the year to 3 or 5 seasons and for each season specify a different set point (depends on the season if cooling system needed or heating or both or neither). <o:p></o:p>On the other hand you can define your set point for cooling and heating for whole year (1 day type) and 24 hours. However, I am not sure what is the benefit of having different set-point for every hour? The HVAC system always have one set point for cooling and another for heating unless they are setback control which changes for night and day as well.<o:p></o:p><o:p> </o:p>Hope that helps,<o:p></o:p>-------------------------------------------------------------<o:p></o:p>Sara Nikoofard, PhD<o:p></o:p>Mechanical Engineering Department, Room C254B<o:p></o:p>Dalhousie University, Halifax, NS<o:p></o:p>Phone: (902) 494-3165<o:p></o:p>email: s.nikoofard@dal.ca<o:p></o:p><o:p> </o:p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0cm 0cm 0cm'>From: esp-r-bounces@lists.strath.ac.uk [mailto:esp-r-bounces@lists.strath.ac.uk] On Behalf Of Arianna Sdei Sent: September-25-13 12:55 PM To: esp-r@lists.strath.ac.uk Subject: [esp-r] Re: temperature set point<o:p></o:p></div></div><o:p> </o:p>Hi All, <o:p></o:p><o:p> </o:p>my previous email may not be that clear so I will try to be more specific.
