color=#0000ff size=2>I cannot comment on Energy+. However, as far as
eQUEST, I've modeled a natatorium (indoor pool) including the latent load.
In one of the ASHRAE books, there's a methodology for determining the latent
loads of a pool as a function of activity, water temperature, and I believe a
few other factors. I ran through these calculations and inputted this load
into the "Internal Energy Sources" under the Equipment internal gains tab.
I created a schedule based on when the proposed pool cover would be off (pool in
use), and called it a "process" load. I believe I set the Latent HG ratio to 1.0
and Sensible to 0.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

eQUEST may be your best, closest approximation, for this
