[Bldg-sim] SEER Heat Pump Cooling Part Load Curves

[Mohit Singh]

HI,
I had done a similar analysis. Instead of modifying part load curves,
what we ended up doing was taking out building loads from e quest,
using actual manufacturer data for different SEER units (Trane 12i,
14i etc) and making a spreadsheet model to calculate hourly
consumption.

Thanks
