[Equest-users] Minimum Efficiency System 5

[Zoeteman, Mark R.]

Pasha,
Appendix G section G3.1.2.1 indicates: "All HVAC equipment in the baseline building design shall be modeled at the minimum efficiency levels, both part load and full load, in accordance with Section 6.4."

Section 6.4 includes Tables 6.8.1A through 6.8.1G.

Cam,

I'm curious to where you found the reference for a "single package" sub-category and how it is pointing to table A to be used for performance factors of packaged equipment as opposed to table D which is specific to packaged a/c units.

I looked back through 90.1 and can't find any notes or guidance to follow your recommendation to point me to table 6.8.1A.  Can you please provide more specific reference to where you are getting this info from Appendix G?   This could be a significant thing for the rest of us to learn and for me to correct if I have missed the info you are refering to.

Thanks for your help on this.

For system type 5 you should be using sub-category "single package" with the appropriate heating section type from Table 6.8.1A.  Table 6.8.1D applies to system types 1 and 2, small packaged terminal units.

Hope this helps.  Have a great day!

Omer,

I would use 6.8.1D.  Just because you are looking at a COP value doesn't mean that it wasn't originally an EER or SEER value, you might want to back out the EER value from your equivalent COP and see if you can reference it from the 6.8.1D table for Packaged equipment performance.

Dear All,


What would you choose as the minimum efficiency for baseline modelling for the DX cooling (923 kW) of System Type 5 from Appendix G (Packaged rooftop VAV with reheat)? I am looking at a model previously done by someone else and the COP has been chose as 2.96, which could mean that they have used Table 6.8.1A - Condensing units, air cooled. But I am not sure if this should be correct.

Thanks,

Subject: [Equest-users] Queries

Hi all,

I am an eQuest newbie and had 2 small queries which hopefully would be answered.

01. What's the logic behind eQuest giving positive (+ve) Cooling Loads & (-ve) negative Heating Loads. (I made an Admittance Method Algorithm & it gives me the opposite values, eQuest i.e. negative cooling loads & +ve heating loads, have checked all sign convention...can't figure out why? My algorithm simulates for Delhi's (India) climate predominantly, cooling loads.

02. I have asked this before...is there any library for data of alternating solar gain factors, especially for Delhi, India. (As far as i believe it does'nt take into account the alternating solar gain factor...)

hope these get resolved soon, thanks in advance.

Regards,
Piyush
