[Equest-users] VAV with Electric Reheat

[John Aulbach]

Sorry, Dong, if I did not interpret your question correctly. If you have a VAV 
system with reheat, you will ALWAYS have the reheat available, even if just in a 
space heating sense (in winter months).

You cannot change SYSTEM types in eQuest by Season. You are stuck with reheat 
(especially if electric). But IF you had Hot Water reheat, you COULD schedule 
your boiler off when you don't want the rehat to work.

Result? Your SYSTEM will try to reheat cold zones, and be unable to. You will 
get zones whose load you cannot meet as the power behind the reheat isn't there.

The DOE-2.2 engine behind eQuest combined the old SYSTEM and PLANT into HVAC. 
NOW, if your plant does not have the capability to heat or cool, space 
temperatures will rise. That wasmn't true in DOE-2.1E.

Let me re-direct my question regarding reheating:
 
How do I make my reheating (electric) work only(mainly) for cooling mode?

>>Hi all,
>> 
>>Can anyone give me an advice regarding a problem described below?
>> 
>>I need to model a VAV system with chilled water coil and hot water coil, 
>>and also with Electric Reheating.
>> 
>>As a start,  I selected  'VAV with HW Reheat' system.
>> 
>>However, I've realized that the system only generates a reheating coil without a 
>>main hot water coil(heating coil).
>> 
>>So I installed  'heating coil'  in the detailed mode, and then, I  changed the 
>>zone heat source to be 'electric'.
>> 
>> 
>>However when I take a look at the result, there came two problems.
>> 
>>1. Heating was mainly done by reheating coil not by main heating coil.
>> 
>>2. Reheating didn't seem to use electricity.
>> 
>>Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
>> 
>>Thank you in advance.
