<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>Dear bldg members,<br>
<br>
I´m trying to execute a simulation approach on a swimming pool simulation using
EnergyPlus. I decided to write hoping you could give me some guidance
help on this kind of simulation approach since Energyplus does not have a model
for it.<br>
<br>
The objective would be to simulate the pool environment, accounting for all the
heat transfer phenomenons, heat losses, etc., but more important the
evaporation losses which must be treated with dehumidification equipment. The
space must be heated and dehumidified using a standard dehumidifier equipment.<br>
<br>
Defining the space and boundary conditions is not difficult using the current
geometry interfaces. At the end I would like to obtain the energy consumption
of HVAC equipment on treating the space loads (mainly dehumidification and
heating).<br>
<br>
Can you give me some guidance help on what have you done in your approach on
EnergyPlus? Is there any other software or application which is capable of
simulating this kind of model?<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance,<br>
Nuno<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
