Hello,

I chose mechanical vent in Apache Systems, but when I run ApacheSim there is no energy usage for the fans/pumps. Also the total energy is just the same as for natural vent. (I of course changed the system in thermal templates)

Hope you can help me with it.

take a look at the other tabs in apache systems, in particular Aux energy. The Nat Vent Vs Mech vent options on the cooling tab will both mean no air con but the Mechanical ventilation has to be represented via Aux energy and also, if required, using the room level Ventilation & Exhaust options (room data >> System tab).
