[Bldg-sim] Heated Only Residential Zones in 90.1 Appendix G

[Jim Dirkes]

Mr. Moltay,
Hoping to get a discussion started.....

I agree that Systems 9 & 10 are inappropriate. I suspect that there is a natural ventilation cooling scheme, since it's unlikely that a multi-family building will have "nothing" for cooling.

If that's true, you do have a cooling system, it's just not a mechanical system. The Baseline system would then be System #1 or #2 and your challenge for the Proposed system will be to demonstrate that it maintains proper control of temperatures and ventilation.

ps, You do not need to maintain typical temperature setpoints for, say an enclosed shopping center. If the owner agrees that 30C is acceptable as a cooling setpoint, then model that.

If “freedom” is ability to do whatever we want, whenever we want and with whomever… that’s lawlessness or anarchy. Try that with traffic…. then think about what might happen if you try it with your life.

Hi,

This has been bogging us for a while, as we cannot figure out how to interpret the various issues in ASHRAE 90.1.

If in a multifamily building the residential units are only heated but not cooled in the actual design (climate is North Europe), how does the baseline get modeled? I suppose Systems #9 and #10 (Heating Only) would be out of the question as these are intended for ancillary spaces. So it would have to be System #1 or #2, but with cooling as well?

More importantly, would the Proposed residential units be modeled with additional cooling using identical systems as in Baseline?

Thank you in advance,
