[Equest-users] District Cooling

[Seth P. Spangler]

Short answer YES!

 

In brief you will connect your building to a chilled water loop and put
an energy meter on the loop to calculate the amount of energy used. You
can then add an energy rate to the chilled water meter to calculate your
annual cost.

 

However, if this is a LEED building registered in LEED NC v2.2 (and some
other versions) after May 28th 2008 you MUST use the LEED document
"Required Treatment of District Thermal Energy..." which will
significantly change how your project will be modeled.

Hi guys!

Can we model a project being served by a District Cooling Plant in
E-quest?

More thanks in advance.
