color:#1F497D'>There is a chart in the guideline that states what % of energy
should go into the plenum depending on your parameters. The easiest and
most straight-forward way to account for the people is to include it in the
lighting component to the plenum, try 50% into plenum. The plenums should
be on the same schedules as the rest of the space. Solar will be incorporated
into your window, glazing, and shading calc’s. Just make sure, if
you have any overlapping windows split them into the separate walls.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>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></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>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></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>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></p>
