[Bldg-sim] Therapy Pool Simulation

[Jeff Haberl]

FYI.

We tried to simulate this back in 1985 with DOE-2 by forcing the loads to equal measured amounts and got somewhat close. Measured data included the pool evaporation rate and ice rink refrigeration load. This was published in an ASHRAE Transactions paper.

Also, there are some papers published on predicted evaporation rates from exposed pools. Several are listed in the apx to the FCHART manual.

Otherwise, you can guess.

Has anyone used EQUEST to simulate an indoor pool or therapy pool performance?  If so please provide some pointers.  If not what program would you suggest using?
