[Bldg-sim] Help with understanding different Baseline Systems and efficiency of one over the other

[Wealend, Edwin]

Hi Anup,

The best answer to this is probably to have experience in designing the systems and a background in engineering. Without that, the ASHRAE Systems and Equipment handbook is pretty good – i.e. it tells you how everything works together and gives an outline of the physical principles behind each system. It definitely assumes you know the basics, but it sounds like you’ve done some of the groundwork already, so you should be ok.

Subject: [Bldg-sim] Help with understanding different Baseline Systems and efficiency of one over the other

Hello All,

I am an Architect by training with my masters in Sustainable Buildings. I have been doing energy simulations for the past 2 years. During this progression of doing energy simulations, I have tried to acquire as much knowledge as possible with respect to Building thermodynamics, psychometrics, HVAC, ASHRAE etc. However, I still need to enhance my quest for this knowledge far beyond.

I have struggled quite a bit to understand difference between different baseline systems in ASHRAE 90.1 Appedix G. ASHRAE do mentions what each system is, however doesn’t explain its working. I wanted to know if there is any material which explains these systems in details and importantly why and how one system is efficient over the other.

I would be grateful if someone can share some info on the same.

Thanks in advance.

Anup
