Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] water wall

["Michael J. Witte" <mjwitte@xxxxxxxx>]

 I do not know of a way to model this within EnergyPlus.  You could estimate 
the evaporation rate from the fountain and use OTHER EQUIPMENT to add a 
positive latent load and negative sensible load to the zone.  Or use a direct 
evaporative cooler to accomplish a similar effect.  But this is just bulk 
changes in the zone air heat and moisture balance.  To make this wall interact 
with natural ventilation will require a tool beyond EnergyPlus, most likely a 
CFD tool capable of modeling evaporation effects.
