[Bldg-sim] District Thermal System

[Karen Walkerman]

I am also in the middle of a DES project at the moment.  The way that I
interpreted Step 1 and 2 is as follows:

Step 1:

Baseline: all downstream (on-site) equipment, envelope components, etc, as
in Appendix G.  heating and cooling is purchased from a DES system.
Proposed: all downstream (on-site) equipment, envelope components, etc, as
designed.  Heating and cooling is purchased from a DES system.

Step 2:

Baseline: all equipment is modeled as on-site.  Boilers and Chillers are to
be modeled as designed in Appendix G.  Utility rates are to be local utility
rates
Proposed: building is to be modeled as built.  Heating and cooling is
purchased from a DES system, energy costs must take into account DES
production and transmission losses.

In my opinion, the vocabulary in Table 1 is confusing, but the guidelines on
pages 5 and 6 seem pretty clear.  Am I on the same page as everyone else
here?

Thanks,
