Hevacomp V8i has a very nice way to model cooling tower energy using
EnergyPlus...  www.bentley.com/eps

need

Hello everyone,

   I was curious if anyone has a program or excel program that models
the fan energy and pumping energy of cooling towers. I currently use
IES-VE, which does not have any cooling tower capabilities (to my
knowledge), so I end up calculating the fan and pump energy for the
cooling towers in a crude excel sheet. Does anyone have a better way to
do this that takes into account the air WB temp, load of the building,
and size of fan? Thanks for the help!

We have a fully funded opening for a PhD researcher at Eindhoven
University of Technology.

The title of the project is "Towards E+ steel-frame industrial hall:
simulation support for objective prediction of energy in use". The aim
is to enable an objective sustainability assessment of industrial halls
and to expand building energy simulation tools with models for new
construction materials, system components and possible system
configurations to account for the industrial hall construction
specifics, process energy production and on-site electricity generation.

Further details are available at
http://www.m2i.nl/pro1/general/start.asp?i=0&j=0&k=0&p=0&itemid=387

Please don't hesitate to contact me for further information.

I would appreciate it very much if you could pass this message to
suitable candidates.

Thanks!
Jan

Guedi:

This does not seem ready for real use.  We tried it and is very
simplistic and does not seem to give functionality.  It seems to do
little more than plot points in model, but not analyze model.  The
internal SketchUp tools will do more than SunTools.
