[BLDG-SIM] Radiant Slabs in eQUEST and LEED

[Peter Simmonds]

Why not run the system as four pipe fan coil and remove the fan power.
The system should maintain the required space temperatures. The
capacities of the fan coil unit are then the heating and cooling
capacities of the radiant slab. Assuming the slab is only used for
convective heating and cooling. If you want to look at radiation energy
exchange you will need another program.

 

Good luck.

I'm doing an ECB documentation for a LEED 2.1 project using eQUEST.
Around half of the building uses hydronic radiant floor heating. I am
trying to model this in eQUEST.
