[BLDG-SIM] Determination of Boiler System Losses and Efficiencies

[Jim Willson]

TC 4.7 has been approached with a request for an insight, studies, articles, or other sources that could assist them in developing tools, intended for gas customer use, to estimate:
         1.  Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency or Seasonal Boiler Efficiency
         2.  Cycling losses
         3.  Fuel savings of lowering the operating steam pressure 
         4.  Efficiency reduction due to oversized boilers

This is an area that doesn't seem to get discussed much in the building energy arena.  I am interested to see what develops.  Please share anything you know.

Regards,

Jim Willson
Applications Subcommittee Chair TC 4.7
