The heating, cooling and outdoor air settings for the zone are used to calculate heating and cooling loads.
Cooling Information Dialog
You use the Cooling Information dialog to specify the cooling settings for the zone. These settings affect the heating and cooling loads analysis. You can access this dialog from the Details tab of the Heating and Cooling Loads dialog, or by clicking Edit for Cooling Information in the Instance Properties dialog for the selected zone.
The Cooling Information dialog contains the following options:
- Cooling Set Point: Temperature at which the system will maintain the cooling in all spaces in the zone. You can specify only one set point per zone because a zone controls its spaces using a single thermostat. A cooling set point is specified for each zone.
- Cooling Air Temperature: Supply air temperature used to cool all spaces in the zone. A cooling air temperature is specified for each zone.
- Humidification Control: Activates the humidification control for the zone. The dehumidification set point option becomes available. When Humidification Control is activated, reheat loads are calculated.
- Dehumidification Set Point: Percentage (%) of humidify that the system will maintain for all spaces in the zone. This set point cannot be lower than the humidification set point located in the Heating Information dialog. A dehumidification set point is specified for each zone.
