<div class=Section1>
<p class=MsoNormal>I'd like to get some feedback on my case regarding district
Thermal Energy. I've had conflicting responses on the subject and have
found no definitive answer.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The baseline system qualifies to be modeled as System type 2
(PTHP). The proposed system uses district chilled water only and no central
heating plant. According to table 3, in the Required Treatment of
District Thermal Energy... document, Systems 1&2 are to be modeled as
constant volume fan coil units with hot water fossil fuel boilers. My
proposed system uses all electric heating coils. How is this cost-neutral
modeling?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Should I stay consistent with my proposed design and model
the baseline as constant volume fan coil with <b>electric </b>heating coils, or
should I model the baseline as constant volume fan coil with hot water <b>electric
</b>boilers?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks, in advanced for any responses.<o:p></o:p></p>
