Can anyone speak to the different hourly load outputs for variable type Building-HVAC vs. variable type Building-LOADS?
When I pull the hourly block results out for both, I find the 'building heat load (sensible)' and 'building heat load (latent)' from the Building-LOADS report to be very different from the 'building heat load (coils+losses&gains)' from the Building-HVAC. The same is true for the cooling loads.
There are also a significant amount of hours where one report will say '0' cool or heat load, and the other report will have a load value.
I am trying to create a HVAC load profile, so I am assuming using the Building-HVAC load outputs would be more appropriate.
I would like to know why the values are different though, are there additional variables that the HVAC subprogram does not take into account?
Thanks in advance!
