[Equest-users] calculating electric consumption from heating energy using Cop

[Joseph Braun]

Hi all,
I am under the impression that theoretically, if one has the heating energy required (as obtained from the SS-D HVAC load summary report from equest), it is possible to utilize the Cop, convert into KW and that should return the electric consumption utilized for space heat.
However, if perform this calculation manually, my calculated space heat electric consumption does not match up with that in the report.
Note, this is for a heat pump in heating mode. Does anyone have an idea as to how the system goes about performing this calculation?

Thanks,
Joseph
