RE: [EnergyPlus_Support] How to obtain Pumps consumption from an idf file (obtained in Designbuilder)?

Hi Pablo,

Your idf file generated by DesignBuilder v2.5 will probably be using the simple Ideal loads HVAC system which does not involve pumps. In this case DesignBuilder models pumps simply using a special scheduled energy consumption. You will need to model a full HVAC system including water side to obtain pump energy from EnergyPlus. You might consider using the DesignBuilder Compact HVAC option and regenerating IDF to do this, or alternatively use v3 Detailed HVAC.

Regards,

Andy

Hi,

I have an idf file obtained from a simulation in designbuilder 2.5 and when I simulate it on E+ the pumps consumption results they do not appear (as they appear in designbuilder).

What should I do in EnergyPlus to obtain such results?

Thanks in advance.

Pablo
