RE: [EnergyPlus_Support] pipe losses

[Don Shirey <shirey@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Pipe losses are modeled using a Pipe:Interoir or a Pipe:Exterior object.

The plain "Pipe" object does not model any losses.

So, suggest changing your Pipe:Exterior and Pipe:Interior objects to Pipe 
objects to get zero losses.

Another option might be to set the "Pipe Length" to a very small value (e.g., 
0.001 meters) in your existing Pipe:Interior and Pipe:Exterior objects.
