<DIV><FONT face=Arial>First of all, the whole "hornet's nest" discussion has
been quite interesting.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>If I may add my two cents: </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>As you can probably tell by the nature of the questions I
have been asking this group, I am a relative newcomer to the world of building
simulation. This is not to say that I am doing simulations without any
supervision or understanding of what's going on in the simulation and how it
compares with "reality."</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>In the process of learning how do to these simulations, I
have found the graphical interface of PowerDOE very helpful. The HVAC
system diagrams, the building views, and the help file (even if it isn't 100%
complete) have made a big difference in how fast I am picking up the
details and understanding all of this. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>So I disagree with the perception that programs like
PowerDOE allow newcomers to cheat their way around the "rite of passage" that
experienced modelers have taken with text based energy simulation
programs. If anything, I think that the graphical nature of PowerDOE helps
make my simulations more accurate, because I can understand what's going on
better than I could if all I was looking at was a bunch of text.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Anyway, enough said. The real reason for this email
was to ask how to model hot gas reheat for a PSZ system. Anyone have any
suggestions?</FONT></DIV>
