calculating energy consumption for a building by setting surface and air temperature

Hello, Is there any way that I can set surface temperatures (Such as walls, floor and ceiling) and also air temperature on a specific number and calculate energy consumption for that room?

Best, Sina Roozbahani

For all surfaces, you can set the exterior temperature that the surface sees by setting the surface's Outside Boundary Condition to "OtherSideCoefficients" and then defining a SurfaceProperty:OtherSideCoefficients object with the desired temperature. Set the air temperature as your Zone Thermostat Setpoint.

Finally, you can use an ZoneHVAC:IdealLoadsAirSystem to calculate the amount of heating/cooling energy that needs to be delivered or use a real HVAC system to calculate its energy consumption.
