[EnergyPlus_Support] Solar Thermal Space Heating ?s

["Kristin Field" <fieldkm@xxxxxxxxx>]

2 questions:

1. Does anyone have or know of any solar thermal space heating system
examples?  The one in the Example Files folder connects to DHW system.
 I know that in theory I can get most of what I need from that file,
but I thought it might be nice to check my space heating file against
one that somebody has tested and works properly.  My system consists
of hydronic radiant tubes that would be heated by the solar thermal
system and/or NG boilers.  Any examples that incorporate a boiler
plant for back-up would be especially helpful!

2. The example file and the documentation always use well-mixed tanks
for the storage.  Can I use a stratified tank?

Thanks for the help!
