<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>I am trying to model Under Floor Air and I have a question
regarding modeling the load distribution. Based on the guidelines by
Energy Design Resources (<a
href="http://www.energydesignresources.com/resource/201/"
title="http://www.energydesignresources.com/resource/201/">http://www.energydesignresources.com/resource/201/</a>)
it seems as if the lighting, equipment, people and solar loads should be
proportioned between the space and the plenum. I understand that fraction
of light heat can be assigned an input but what is the best way to split up the
equipment, people and solar heat?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>For equipment, I was considering the following
approach: Multiply the EPD by 85%, and use that as the EPD for the
space. Then multiply EPD by 15% and use that EPD for the plenum. I
would have to assign a schedule to the plenum, but does anyone know if eQuest
will still account for the heat gain in the plenum if it is unconditioned?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>For people, I would do the same as above but multiply the
Total Heat Gain (ie 450 Btu/h) by the appropriate %.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
