I will be analyzing a small job shop - total building sq ft of less
than 14,000. I haven't used e+ before, I've printed the manuals and
have been looking through the program. It doesn't look terribly
complicated. Does anyone have any help or advice to share for modeling
a VRF type system? I will need to run an economic analysis on this
model as well, to compare the first costs and operating costs of this
VRF system to a 2 or 3 residential ducted furnace system.
About myself & the project: I am familiar with Trane Trace, I have not
used other heat load programs for facility analysis. I understand the
theory and fundamentals of fluid flow and thermodynamics very well.
VRF systems seem to intuitively have a lower operating cost, however
the firm I work at has not pushed these systems in the past; I am
working with an architect that is interested in this technology and
would like to see some proof that it can live up to its claims.
Thanks in advance,
