[Equest-users] Modeling Zones with Unit heaters as per ASHRAE 90.1. Appendix G

[David Griffin]

Simge,

In  the past, I've just altered the cooling schedule for the space, so it never goes into cooling mode. Then I model the space per ASHRAE 90.1 Appendix G.

Thanks,

Subject: [Equest-users] Modeling Zones with Unit heaters as per ASHRAE 90.1. Appendix G

ASHRAE 90.1. Appendix G says that, even if a zone is heating only in the actual building, a cooling system identical to that in the baseline system should be modeled in the as-built model with intermittent fan operation to meet the loads. I have seen projects with zones that have only unit heaters with no cooling air supply. eQuest does not allow for modeling of any cooling system in a zone with a unit heater. What would be your approach to solving this problem?

I would appreciate it very much if you could help me with this question.

Thank you very much in advance for your suggestions,

Best Regards,
Simge Andolsun, PhD.
