[BLDG-SIM] eQuest/baseline basics/ZONING, etc.

[David S Eldridge]

Zoning will always be the same in both buildings.  Each zone will be
served by either a single zone system or a central system depending on
the mapping.
 
Use the system mapping in Table G.3.1.1A and B.  The baseline system is
determined based on residential or non-residential, size (if
non-residential) and the fuel source for the proposed design.
 
The mapping may be giving you a lot of (inefficient?) single zone units,
App G is designed to give you credit for using a more efficient overall
system in that case.  If you meet one of the size thresholds, then you
will take your existing zones and serve them from a central VAV system
of some type, even though you have smaller distributed systems in your
proposed design.
 
If you haven't picked up the standard's user manual yet, that would be a
good acquisition.  Otherwise I don't know of much - Google does a great
job of searching through bldg-sim history.  Include "bldg-sim" in your
search, or use the search function off of Gard's page.

	Thanks for the previous feedback...
	 
	A general question on the (eQuest) Baseline and Proposed that I
wasn't able to clarifiy in Appendix G:
	 
	When you have a complete system for the propsed
building-multiple zones, same level, each serve by GSHP-is the baseline
to model the same zones with the baseline mechanical system in each, say
PSZ-AC?  Or is it appropriate to model with a single system serving all
the zones in each case model?
	 
	In this regard, has anyone found in their pursuits of energy
modeling a resource to cover such general questions as this?
	 
	Thanks Again,
	caleb
