[Equest-users] LEED modeling garage

[Michael Campbell]

Thanks for the help, Nick.  One question regarding the garage – the space
is semi-heated with unit heaters and the floor that the garage is on also
includes spaces that are conditioned.  Should I just increase the
infiltration in the garage to account for the wall vents?



Thanks

I think Karen’s second sentence reads better if you tag “… as a direct load
to the meter” to the end =).



To the second query, which dances with the “one system per space” rule of
DOE2:  Something I’ve done in the past is split a space into two spaces
thermally connected with an air wall (copy the space, halve the
area/volume/internals, adjust & re-assign the interior partitions for the
air wall), then assign the unit heater to one and the cooling system to the
other.  Carefully review the temperature inputs to ensure the systems
aren’t fighting each other.



An easier *approximation* could be to simply include baseboard heating
under the system in question.

if the garage is completely open and unconditioned, then don't model the
garage space at all.  Simply model the lighting, and any energy used by an
exhaust fan for CO and NOx control.

Hello, I just wanted to follow up on this and see if anyone has any
information on how to model the garage grilles?



Also one other question – if a space has an AC unit plus and unit heater,
how should that be modeled?



Thank you

Hello,



I’m currently working on a model for a LEED project.  The parking garage is
heated only with unit heaters and no cooling.  The garage is also
ventilated naturally with aluminum grilles.  What is the correct way to
model this for a LEED project?  Also, how do I take the grilles into
account?  I currently have them in as windows, but I am not sure what do
since they are essentially openings in the envelope.



Thank you
