[bldg-sim] Outdoor Swimming Pool heating load

[mail at smitagupta.com]

Hi,

Can anyone guide me to the calculations of the heating load for an outdoor
swimming pool to be added to an hourly space heating load profile for
total? Is there a way to simulate that in eQuest or do I have to calculate
separately and increase the space heating hourly values accordingly.

The information I found on the internet for sizing pool heaters indicates
12 Btu/hr per sq ft exposed area per deg difference in pool and air
temperature, which I have tried to use and increament the hourly load.
Please advise if this is a reasonable number.

Thanks,

-Smita
