Richard,

I  assume your building falls under System # 7 or 8 where chilled water
is the Cooling Type.  In ASHRAE 90.1-2004 Appendix G section G.3.1.3.7,
it states that electric chillers shall be modeled in the baseline
building independent of the proposed building chiller type.

Subject: [Bldg-sim] Cooling fuel type - ASHRAE 90.1 - 2004

 

Hello,
I posted this a couple of days back but perhaps wasn't specific enough.

I am modelling a hotel in Iran for a US NC project and they will be
using absorption chillers to satisfy 100% of the cooling load. I will be
using ASHRAE 90.1 2004 to create the reference building, however I don't
see any reference for the cooling fuel type. It is clearly stated in
ASHRAE 90.1 - 1999 that the cooling fuel types will be the same in the
proposed and reference building, but this is not stated in 90.1 - 2004.
Does anyone have any experience modelling absorption chillers and if so,
where is it stated that the cooling fuels should match.

Any assistance you could provide is much appreciated

Thank you
