[EnergyPlus_Support] Neutral Temp Thermal Storage

[Karen Walkerman <kwalkerman@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I need to model a system that uses a neutral temperature thermal storage device for a heat pump loop system.  A number of buildings will be connected to a large thermal storage tank which which will be maintained between two setpoints by a geothermal well.  The thermal storage tank will allow the buildings to exchange energy with each other as well as provide a buffer for the geothermal pump capacity.

The thermal storage systems in EnergyPlus seem to be dedicated to either heating or cooling.  Any ideas on how to model a "neutral" thermal storage?
