[Equest-users] Heat Pump Supplemental Heat

[M. Shields]

Carol,

 

I found that tab and have been playing around with it.  I switched the
source on all of my heat pumps to "Not Installed" but I'm still getting some
supplemental energy use (although it is relatively small).  Thanks for the
tip!

 

Michael

Michael,

Try this:

Under Air-Side System HVAC Parameter, Supp Heat/Defrost, try entering a
really low number for the HP Supp Heat Capacity, on the order of .001 Btuh
or so.

Fellow eQuesters,

 

I am trying to model a building using heat pumps, however, there will be no
backup heaters in the building.  Is there a way to disable this from the
model?  When I ran the wizard I selected the heating source was  "DX Coils
(Heat Pump)" but when I go through the reports there is consumption for "HT
Pump Supplem".

 

Thanks,

Michael
