<DIV><SPAN class=671115821-23092007><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm currently
working on a project that has water-source heat pumps (cooling tower +
boilers) in the proposed design project (cooling EER = 12) and I'm comparing it
to a PTAC system in the baseline case (cooling EER = 9.3). The electric
energy use related to the space cooling end-use is higher in the HP
model than in the PTAC model. I would think the HP model would use
less energy since the EER is better....but this is not the case. Does this
make sense? Has anyone else run into this problem? If so, any
suggestions on how to correct?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
