I’m not sure which report to look at. This is for an ASHRAE 90.1
model so I need to oversize by 15%. The “30-minute” DOE2
Output QC Checklist says I should look at PV-A for equipment sizes and compare
it with peak loads on the PS-C and PS-D reports. However the chiller on
the PVA report includes a rated capacity number for the chilled water loop and
condenser water loop. Which one do I use? Should the peak loads on
the PS-C and PS-D reports match up perfectly with the values on PVA?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
