Simulation results dialog box Setpoints Not Met tab

Contains controls used to display the amount of time heating and cooling setpoints are not met.



Note: The Setpoints Not Met tab is a subset of the Simulation results dialog box .

Tip: You can open the Results Viewer utility to step through the calculations for displayed results by selecting the result value and clicking for more information (as prompted).



Tip: You can open a graph window to view the report tabulated data by selecting the table headers and clicking for more information (as prompted).



SettingDescription
Building: [Building name]

Contains controls used to display the monthly hours heating and cooling setpoints are not met for the entire building.

  • Month — Displays the twelve months of the year. Each row contains building setpoints not met data. If a month is not included in the simulation, no values are displayed for it.

  • Time Heating Setpoint Not Met — Displays the sum of the hours in each month in which the zone temperature is lower than the heating setpoint by 0.36° F (0.2° C).

  • Time Heating Setpoint Not Met While Occupied — Displays the sum of the hours in each month in which the zone temperature is lower than the heating setpoint by 0.36° F (0.2° C) when people are present in the zone.

  • Time Cooling Setpoint Not Met — Displays the sum of the hours in each month in which the zone temperature is higher than the cooling setpoint by 0.36° F (0.2° C).

  • Time Cooling Setpoint Not Met While Occupied — Displays the sum of the hours in each month in which the zone temperature is higher than the cooling setpoint by 0.36° F (0.2° C) when people are present in the zone.

Room: [Room name]

Contains controls used to display the monthly hours heating and cooling setpoints are not met for each room in building.

  • Month — Displays the twelve months of the year. Each row contains room setpoints not met data. If a month is not included in the simulation, no values are displayed for it.

  • Time Heating Setpoint Not Met — For individual rooms, displays the sum of the hours in each month in which the zone temperature is lower than the heating setpoint by 0.36° F (0.2° C).

  • Time Heating Setpoint Not Met While Occupied — For individual rooms, displays the sum of the hours in each month in which the zone temperature is lower than the heating setpoint by 0.36° F (0.2° C) when people are present in the zone.

  • Time Cooling Setpoint Not Met — For individual rooms, displays the sum of the hours in each month in which the zone temperature is higher than the cooling setpoint by 0.36° F (0.2° C).

  • Time Cooling Setpoint Not Met While Occupied — For individual rooms, displays the sum of the hours in each month in which the zone temperature is higher than the cooling setpoint by 0.36° F (0.2° C) when people are present in the zone.
