Dear All<br>
<br>
Within the past year I've experienced at least two consultants who
have mandated <i>calculations </i>of Supply/ Space conditioning
air rates in a way that effectively ignores thermal mass and treats
all loads (including peak solar gain) as undiversified (i.e.
permenantly on).<br>
<br>
One of the consultants has presented this as a basis for 8760 hour
energy models for a extensive range of building types. Fans are
required to operate at the <i>calculated </i>rate for all periods
of HVAC operation. I feel this could grossly over estimate fan power
in all but a few circumstances.<br>
<br>
Does anybody here model like this?<br>
<br>
Best regards<br>
