Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] HVAC parallel system




Thanks Jim! I already build the model for that system but somehow the error pops up before the actual running. I guess I need to check my connections. What i did was use the spliter for the supply inlet and split it into two path in to go through different AHUs, and then use a mixer to combine the outlet from the AHUs. But somehow the eneryplus dont like it.  Any more suggestions? Thanks

Daniel,
EnergyPlus can certainly model this configuration, but may require some minor adaptations that will not affect the calculation results.
How you do it is another matter!  I recommend some study of EnergyPlus and one of the available graphical interfaces, like DesignBuilder, or OpenStudio. Preparing an energy model is not yet a simple activity and requires a fair amount of study and practice.

Subject: [EnergyPlus_Support] HVAC parallel system


To whom it may concern,
Recently I am doing a project to simulate the energy consumption and control for a university building. The existing AHU systems are in parallel. They have 10 AHU units, but each 2 of them are a pair in parallel.  One outside air system and air misxing box serves two AHU. I am wondering if energyplus could model this system. If so, how could it be done. 
Thanks 
Daniel
