Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Re: Chiller:Electric- Sizing Factor value less than 1

["Jim Dirkes jim@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [EnergyPlus_Support]" <EnergyPlus_Support@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Rajeev,

The short answer (I don't have much time at the moment) is that .5 is a good value. This will assign 50% of the calculated capacity to each chiller. Since the calculated capacity includes sizing factors, this should result in good performance.

Although the document says the only altered inputs are nominal capacity etc. 

I noticed the cooling:Electricity change as well. My objective is to get the real energy use and chiller capacities to report. I feel 0.5 would give the correct number, but I want to confirm if this understanding is right.
