<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>Hi,<br>
<br>
In a project to go for LEED, in winter, the heat source is steam purchased
from public utility company with fixed rate, say, $5,000/month in
spite of the real heating demand, how to simulate this in Equest? ASHRAE
90.1-2004 stated that "For systems using purchased hot water or steam, hot
water or steam costs shall be based on actual utility rates, and on-site
boilers shall not be modeled in the baseline building design." Is it
feasible to choose "no heating" in the proposed case and do some
simple calculation instead, say, $5,000/month*3 month=$15,000, to generate a
result? <br>
Any comments are welcome. Thanks.<br>
<br>
