Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Water-side economizer
1. Const COP chiller is an ideal chiller. Use CHILLER:ELECTRIC or
CHILLER:ELECTRIC:EIR
2. The CHILLER:ELECTRIC and CHILLER:ELECTRIC:EIR models automatically adjust
for differening chilled water and condenser water temperatures. The design (or
nominal) COP entered for the chiller must be consistent with the design chilled
water and design entering condenser temperatures. You can report the chiller
COP using REPORT VARIABLE "Chiller COP".
