Hi,
I have a LEED project that is utilizing a VRV system to provide heating and
cooling. The building also has a masonry heater that the users will use
often as a heat source and for cooking. I'm completing a LEED model for
this project and I'm not sure how to approach the baseline heating systems.
The building has a fully functional VRV system - this would lead to choosing
System 4 - PSZ-HP. However, the users will use the masonry heater for heat
whenever they can. This might lead to choosing System 3, and using a
boiler. Any thoughts or experience with similar projects?
Thanks,
--
Karen
