RE: [EnergyPlus_Support] Water-to-Air Heatpump and Humidity Control

["Michael J. Witte" <mjwitte@xxxxxxxx>]

EnergyPlus can model GSHP plus boiler plus solar serving the same hot water 
loop.  There are some limitations on the ground heat exchanger types that can 
be modeled.  In the EnergyPlus Input Output reference, please see GROUND HEAT 
EXCHANGER:VERTICAL.  For solar hot water, there is an extensive dataset of 
predefined performance parameters for 170 specific models of flat plate 
collector.
