[Bldg-sim] Swimming pool modeling

[Griffith, Brent]

I don't know if anyone has used it for modeling swimming pools, but
EnergyPlus does provide a way of specifying water uses.  If you know and
can schedule the water temperature and evaporation rates, that can be
used as input for a Water Use Equipment object with a latent fraction of
1.0.  The modeling accounts for both sensible and latent effects of
evaporation related to cooling, zone humidity, integrated interactions
with HVAC, etc.

Hi,

Is it possible to model swimming pool in Energy+? I could not find the
way to model latent loads due to water evaporation



Thanks
