[Equest-users] Solar Water Heating

[Nick Caton]

If I'm not mistaken, solar hot water heating systems cannot be explicitly modeled in eQuest/DOE2 (presently).

I've handled this before by separately determining how much "free" hot water you expect to get with the solar hot water system, and then subtracting that consumption from your SHW equipment via the consumption scheduling.

Hope that helps,

~Nick

I am trying to adjust my model to solar water heating. Not sure how to do this.

Thank you
