All,

The Trane Trace energy cost budget report shows no cooling energy, despite having a cooling plant modeled.  Also, the yearly energy cost reported is zero, despite having a reported yearly electricity usage.  Is there a bug in the program?.  Has anyone experience this?  

A little background on the plants being modeled.  The cooling plant is modeled as 10 water source heat pumps piped in parallel along with a district cooling plant under the cooling plants tab.  The primary purpose of the heat pumps is to provide heating while the district cooling plant provides cooling to the building.  The heat pumps take chilled water return from the campus loop and reject the heat to the building, while returning chilled water back to the campus loop.  

Thanks,

Thomas
