Hi Everyone,<br><br>Was wondering if someone could clarify if a hotel falls under "residential" within the ASHRAE 90.1 guidelines. I'm modeling a hotel that is G+6, and is filled with guest rooms except for the ground floor which includes a lobby and small cafeteria. I find that this clarification becomes especially important when doing the base case model
using the guidelines from appendix G as it makes a large difference in the type of system to use. In the user manual, on page
G-22 to be specific, The last paragraph states that "Residential spaces
in buildings are used primarily for living and sleeping. They include,
but are not limited to, dwelling units, hotel/motel guest rooms,
dormitories... etc." And for this reason I have assumed the building to be residential, but because it says "residential SPACES" instead of "buildings" I am starting to question it.<br><br>Also, has anyone had any experience modeling solar hot water heaters in VisualDOE and if so, how have you gone about modeling it?<br>
<br>Thanks for the help!<br><br><br>Loren<br><br>MECSD<br><br>
