[Equest-users] Pump & Aux. Energy Use

[Cox, Christopher]

Hello Everyone,

In preparing a baseline simulation,  I have noticed the "Pump & Auxiliary" energy is higher than anticipated.  The only circulation loops included in the building are HW and DHW.  DHW does not include a pump.  Heating is provided using gas boilers and HW coils throughout the building.  The 6.65 kW HW pump is controlled using a VFD.  The hourly reports for "Pump & Aux." energy indicate a non HW Pump load that I cannot account for.  The load does appear to modulate with the heating load.  I have included a graph of the hourly reports for "Pump & Auxiliary"  and HW pump electricity use below.

Does anyone know what equipment would be included for "Pumps & Auxiliary" energy use, in addition to the HW pump?
