â??(at least withÂ
the ideal loads objectâ??)â??
is to use the conversion â??factors â??
to determine the Total Site Energy. Below is the pages I found in documentation regarding â??highlighting what I was basing my assumption on for calculations of â??
Total Site Energy and I am curios how it is calculated if â??this is applicable for other system typesâ??
 and also will run some tests to be sure sometime soon.â?? Thanks Julienâ??-Â
District Heating Efficiency 0.6
District Cooling COP 0.76
Steam Conversion Efficiency 0.25
Total Carbon Equivalent Emission Factor From N2O 80.7272
Total Carbon Equivalent Emission Factor From CH4 6.2727
Total Carbon Equivalent Emission Factor From CO2 0.2727

ÂNone of the above...Look at the .mdd file and pick something that looks like Electricity:Cooling or something. That will actually be electricity (taking efficiency into account) and can be converted to source.--

Which one should be consider as Total Cooling Load/Energy from the following? It creates confusion to me. I calculated* Zone air system sensible cooling energy* Cooling coil sensible cooling energy* Cooling coil Total cooling energyI used DX cooling coil: single speed.ÂSajal Chowdhury

ÂYes, that will give you source GJ, then you might want to convert that to kWh for reporting.The conversation factor unitless so you can also convert to kWh before converting as well.

ÂHi,The site to source conversion factor for electricity is highly location dependent, it depends on the way electricity is generated (eg hydro isn't the same as coal) and distributed.Sure EnergyPlus has a default (3.34 or something) you can use but depending on your needs that might not be accurate enough.Julien
