[Equest-users] Low Cooling Loads, Big Cooling Electric Consumption

[steinvor at msu.edu]

 Hello All:

In a recent project, my model doesn't have a designed HVAC system, so I'm modeling my proposed the same as the baseline. Baseline system is #8 (chilled water) with FPF's, climate zone 1. Even though I'm getting lower cooling loads for the proposed building, the electric load corresponding to cooling the building is higher than the baseline. Fans and pumps consumption is increasing this value. What can be causing this, how can this value be reduced? 

Thanks!
