[Equest-users] Fuel Metering

[Sheila Sagerer]

In order to truly isolate the natural gas for the boiler, I would model this
using a separate meter created just for the boiler plant along with the
three secondary hot water loops (one for each building).  Then, the fuel use
for the boiler could be distributed manually to each of the buildings
through post-processing using the PS-H reports for each building as
suggested by Brian below.

Any additional fuel meters created and assigned to each building would only
log the fuel use for domestic hot water, cooking, or other end uses not
connected to the central plant boiler.

Good luck and have a nice day.

Then it would seem you are modelling the boiler loading (lead - lag) rather
than the building loading.  If you wish to isolate the buildings, I think
you need 3 hot water loops.  If you wish, they could be secondary loops
feeding off a common primary loop, that way you would not have to dedicate
boilers to the individual buildings but you could look at the heating loads
for the secondary loops on the PS-H reports to see what their heating loads
are like.

Hope this helps.

No, each is fed off of the same loop in the model.

Are there separate hot water loops for the 3 buildings?
