RE: [EnergyPlus_Support] indoor swimming pool

["Edward G. Lyon" <eglyon@xxxxxxx>]

I believe that it is nearly impossible to fully model a swimming pool in any of the energy modeling programs.  There are no means to model water evaporation interaction with the mechanical equipment and the current mechanical equipment can?t be combined and controlled to simulate some of the more specialized pool mechanical systems.  The task would require becoming an EnergyPlus developer and writing your own modules for the load and equipment.

Hi,

usually I work with DB, but I want to learn to use E+..and now I have to simulate an indoor swimming pool...It is possible in E+?
The roof is in ETFE..I think I need to simplifing it, because it is really difficult to draw the exact shape, it is a kind of transparent "pillow".

Thank you very much,

Alis
