[Equest-users] Radiant ceilings

[Shalini Modi]

Hello all,

I need to model radiant ceiling for heating and cooling both. As per the suggestions in the archive (quoted below), I kept the system as VAV, reduced fan usage to represent radiant slab system's fan usage, kept my heating by water loop baseboards and cooling by DX and coil head and loop temperatures as per radiant slab system but after selecting the system type as 'VAV', in the cooling page, it won't allow me to select 'electric DX' as the cooling source.

Kindly advice how can I solve this problem.

Thanks a lot,

Shalini

Rob,
 
Select the system based on the DX air conditioning, then add hot water
baseboards for the radiant slab. Set your baseboard capacity, coil head,
loop temperature etc. to match the radiant slab heating system.

Bill

To All,
 
Is it possible to model a building with radiant slab heat (hot water
loop) and air conditioning? It appears to me that the eQUEST airside
system type for radiant slab heating is FPH (floor panel heating
system), and that this is "heating only".
 
Can anyone suggest a way to model a building that has both radiant slab
heating and DX air conditioning?
 
Thanks,
