Hi.
I´m doing a energy simulation with Energy Plus.
Energy Plus shows differents results about Unmet Load Hours:
1. Time setpoint not met
2. Time not comfortable Based on Simple ASHRAE 55-2004
I understand that "Time not comfortable Based on Simple ASHRAE 55-2004" is similar to Unmet Load Hours of ASHRAE.
But the results shows for this are:
a) Discomfort hrs (summer clothing)
b) Discomfort hrs (winter clothing)
c) Discomfort hrs (all clothing)
What results are compared to 300 hours of Unmet Load Hours???
I think that only option c) is compared.
Thanks

The 300 hours is compared to time setpoint not met. This is just to check that your energy savings aren't as a result of systems being undersized in the model.
You can have discomfort even when the setpoint is met.
