[Equest-users] Central PV system contribution to single building‏

[zhouzarah]

Dear Javed,
Thank you for the reply. I think Retscreen can help with the PV power generation. Maybe I did not express my question clearly, The PV power capacity has been identified and it will connect to several buildings, my building is one of them. I do not know how to estimate the amount of green power from PV to my building, as we are applying for LEED credit (EA c2).

Dear Zarah,
You can use many software like PVwatts, Restscreen and PVSyst for this PV power generation analysis. Once yo know power consumption for the building after the Energy simulation (BEPS, BEPU reports), then based on that you can target PV installation capacity.
Hope this helps!

Dear eQuesters,I am working on a LEED certification for one building in an industry park. The park has a solar PV system serving several buildings. So I do not think I can simulate the PV systems directly in eQUEST to get its share to the LEED target building.  My question is how to estimate the PV generated electricity to my building? Should I prorate the PV electricity based on those buildings' energy use, or there is a better way to do the calculation/estimation in the design phase? Any comment is appreciated!Best regards,Zarah
