Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Modeling Heat Tape

[Jason Kirkpatrick <jason.alan.kirkpatrick@xxxxxxxxx>]

No idea if it will work with a window, but you might want to try

Construction:InternalSource

"In some cases such as radiant systems, a construction will actually have resistance wires or hydronic tubing embedded within the construction. Heat is then either added or removed from this building element to provide heating or cooling to the zone in question. In the case of building-integrated photovoltaics, the energy removed in the form of electricity will form a sink."

Can anyone offer some help with modeling heat tape? I am modeling the potential for condensation on a single pane window in an unconditioned zone in a humid climate. One proposal is to use electric resistance heat tape to maintain the glass and frame above dewpoint. I'm unsure how to set up this kind of "system" in EPlus. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
