[EnergyPlus_Support] Re: Water Heater Question
Hello all,
I also have an aside question related to the water heater. If the
boiler is supplying hot water to the unit and it is connected to
the 'source side', does the water heater's source connections have
to be on the supply side that water loop?
I have noticed this is various examples of the water heater's use.
Thanks again, I appreciate any input.
Kind regards
-Elmer
