How to set thermostat to have 0 heating load

Dear All,

I am modeling a baseline system 10 Heating and Ventilation. But actually I
do not need heating but only ventilation. So I set the thermostat schedule
and design temperature to 40F to avoid heating load. However, I still got
space heat at the report. Have any of you run into this problem before?
How to solve it?

Thank you very much!

I believe if you remove the heating thermostat schedule, the program will show no heating.

Yes, I was thinking about that method too, but do you know if that will be
ok for LEED review? Coz I thought for the baseline model even the building
does not need heating, for system 9 and 10 you still have to show the
heating ability.

Hi John,

After removing the whole heating thermostat schedule, the program still
shows space heat. Do you know if eQuest allow users to trace back the space
heat & cool for each zone?

Thank you,

Jing

Would you kindly send your .inp and .PD2 so we in the forum might see what is happening?
