[Equest-users] What should be put the Sensible Ht fraction in SDW?

[Vern Smith]

  Hello Jing,

Table 23 in the BARB report includes the estimated annual energy use for 
each appliance.  I suggest developing an average sensible and latent 
fraction by multiplying the annual energy for each appliance by the its 
sensible and latent fractions.  Sum these for all appliances and then 
divide the sensible sum and the latent sum by by total annual energy 
use.  This should give you representative sensible and latent fractions.

Regards,
Vern
