[Equest-users] Supp Heating for Heat Pumps

There is a temp keyword associated with this that triggers the supp heat
when the OA is below that temp - try setting that to 0 degrees or something
very low so it won't trigger the electric resistance

 Hi,



I am modeling a heat pump by using a PSZ and making the heating type heat
pump. Under the “heating” tab there is a “supp heat/defrost” tab, where I
can’t turn to “not installed”. When running my model there is a part of the
load that is being met by the supp heating system. I have tried to increase
the capacity of the heating pumps however this doesn’t decrease the load on
the supplementary system.



Any ideas on deleting the load and supplementary system associated with heat
pumps?
