[Bldg-sim] Condensing Boilers for DHW

With the release of eQUEST 3.63b we are given the option to model
Condensing Gas-Fired Boilers for hot water heating.  However, domestic hot
water can still only be modeled by simplistic DW Heaters which have
options only for Electric, Gas, & Steam.

 

Would it make sense to just model the DHW loop as a HW loop with a process
load equal to the service hot water demand or is there some fundamental
reason why a hot water loop shouldn't be used as a domestic loop in
eQUEST?

 

Any input is appreciated.  Thanks.
