Does ideal loads consider light/equiment heat gains
I have an openstudio V2.5.1 large office model in cold climate (heating degree days around 4000) on district heating and district cooling with almost no unmet hours. EUI 124 kwh/m2 ; TEDI 51 kwht/m2
By putting ideal loads on for all thermal zones, my heating consumption almost doubles. EUI 171 kwh/m2 ; TEDI 97 kwht/m2
What could explain this considering that my heating equipment has the same efficiency (100%) ?
Maybe if the heat gains form lights, equipment, fans, pumps are not considered in the thermal balance it would make sense, but the documentation I red didn't gave me a clear answer on this hypothesis.

Maybe if the heat gains form lights, equipment, fans, pumps are not considered in the thermal balance anymore it would could make sense, sens, but the documentation I red didn't gave me a clear answer on this hypothesis.answer.
