[Equest-users] PTAC vs WLHP Annual Energy Consumption

[David Reddy]

Hi Morteza,
I have not reviewed the results or detailed inputs of your model, but 
one thing to be aware is that depending on the rating conditions of your 
efficiency data, you may have to adjust the EIRs to be consistent with 
DOE-2 performance curves.  The default DOE-2 curves are normalized to 
the GSHP rating condition, so if using these and if your efficiency data 
is @ the WSHP rating condition, you will need to apply these adjustments.

Here is the table from the DOE-2 help provided with eQUEST.  There is a 
library of DOE-2 WSHP curves available from ClimateMaster that do not 
need these adjustments.
