font-family:Arial'>I’m trying to model a ground source heat pump system
in eQUEST using a Water Loop Heat Pump system attached to a ground source heat
exchanger. The system seems to work fine during occupied hour but it just can’t
meet morning warm-up loads. I’m doing a systems energy analysis for our
local energy code compliance and there is a mandatory night setback of 55 °F from
70 °F in heating. During winter months the system doesn’t seem to be
able to jump from 55 °F to 70 °F space temperature in less than 1-2 hours. I’ve
double checked the fan schedules and the system is allowed to come on during
this time. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
