[Equest-users] Space Heat Output

[Aulbach, John]

To simulate steam, you have to have a hot water loop with 0 kW pumping.

Also, if you really want a steam boiler..(from the DOE-2.2 Help menu..)

TYPE
Takes a code-word that specifies the type of boiler. This required
keyword should be the first keyword entered. Allowed values of TYPE are:

HW-BOILER                 Hot water boiler.

HW-BOILER-W/DRAFT  Hot water boiler with draft fan.

ELEC-HW-BOILER        Electric hot water boiler.

STM-BOILER                Steam boiler.

STM-BOILER-W/DRAFT Stream boiler with draft fan.

ELEC-STM-BOILER       Electric steam boiler.

Note that the steam boilers are modeled identically to the hot water
boilers, except that their efficiencies are lower.

Does anyone know why I cannot model a VAV AHU with a steam loop/boiler
for space heat?

It is a central AHU with zone boxes, therefore I am modeling (1)
Air-Side HVAC System.

When reviewing the output consumption using this configuration I do not
see any energy consumption for space heat, but when I switch to a
furnace instead of the steam I am able to produce logical /practical
consumption numbers. What am I doing wrong?

Thank you in advance.
