[Bldg-sim] Transformers in Energy Model

[Wang, Weimin]

A transformer model will be added to the next version of EnergyPlus, which is expected to be released in October. That model can capture transformer energy losses and the interaction with the zone heat balance.

Thanks,

Subject: [Bldg-sim] Transformers in Energy Model

I am new to energy modeling and I am curious if there is a way to take credit for more efficient transformers in an energy model. Some of our transformer reps have said that there is not a LEED credit for more efficient transformers, but you have to gain the credit through the energy model. Would it just be through more heat in a space? I appreciate any information I can get in this matter.

Best Regards,
