[Bldg-sim] hot water loop from a hydronic heat pump

[Ramana Koti]

Dear all,

For space heating and/or domestic hot water, is there a way to directly
model a hot water loop coming from a heat hydronic heat pump
(fuel:electricity) in eQUEST?

Is there a good workaround via an electric hot water boiler? what would be a
good EIR number for an electric HW Boiler that's connected to such a hot
water loop ? I notice DOE-2's default number in eQUEST is 1.02 but can't
tell if that's a good default to fall back on. The range is as wide as 0 to
10 and the Heat Input Ratio field is greyed out.

Thanks,
