<DIV>As far as I am concerned, IPLV is a mythical number, like SEER. It is based on assumed levels of usage for a pumed annual usage. If your truly need part load curves, ask the manufacturer for the 75%, 50% and 25% points. You cannot evolve these four numbers out of a single mnumber (IPLV).<BR></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal>Hello everyone,</P>
<P class=MsoNormal> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I was working on a school model located in Lakeside, San Diego county. The school has Bard wall mount heat pumps (capacity – 2 to 4 tons), really old one. I got manufacture data of the old and new units for replacement. The new units data has EER, IPLV and COP ratings. I would prefer to use IPLV instead of EER rating in case of cooling to calculate savings. The eQuest does have options for EER and SEER but not for IPLV in the schematic design wizard. What should I do here? </P>
<P class=MsoNormal> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Does it make sense to use IPLV instead of EER to calculate savings for the Lakeside? </P>
<P class=MsoNormal> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Thanks,</P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Aman </P>
