[BLDG-SIM] solar hot water heating

[Drury.Crawley at EE.DOE.GOV]

Energy-10 does include solar water heating
and PV but it is a stand-alone calculation similar
to the daylighting--in fact, Energy-10 runs EnergyPlus
for its SWH and PV calcs.  Energy-10 is suitable for
smaller buildings but not multizone buildings.

The best way right now to get integrated analysis is Energy10 - version
1.8 from SBIC, http://www.sbicouncil.org/.

Another approach is to use eQuest with a separate model using for the
solar water heating using FCHART, then combine the results in a
spreadsheet.
