Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Condensing boiler curve question



To be complete, the first performance curve in Boilers.idf uses 
EnteringBoiler, the second uses LeavingBoiler, and the last 3 don't care 
since they are a function of PLR only. I have updated Boilers.idf to 
reflect this missing piece of information.
