energy consumed by the pilot light for the furnace. The new technology has
in fact done away with pilot lights, therefore, newer equipments do not consume
this energy, and can be set to 0.</FONT></DIV>

<H5>FURNACE-AUX</H5>
<P class=MsoBodyText>The rate of energy use of the furnace pilot. For a
gas-fired furnace, this is the energy consumed by the pilot light when there is
no load on the furnace. In this case the program assumes that the pilot light
consumption when the furnace is "on" is included in FURNACE-HIR-FPLR. For an
oil-fired furnace, FURNACE-AUX is the energy consumed by the spark ignition and
the fuel pumping system when there is a load on the furnace. In this case, the
auxiliary energy consumed in a given hour is FURNACE-AUX times the part load
ratio that hour (therefore, no energy is consumed when there is no load on the
furnace). This auxiliary fuel is allocated to the AUX-FUEL-METER.</P><FONT

<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Dear All,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>For my baseline model, involving System 5 Packaged
VAV as well as a few System 3's, I am having small but steady gas consumption
under the heading "Pumps & Aux". The consumption is about 1,000,000 BTU each
month. In total, I have 13,700,000 BTU of pump gas consumption compared to
2,444,700,000 BTU of space heating gas consumption.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Why gas consumption for pumps? Some new technology
I do not know about? Or is this something for auxiliary under "Pumps & Aux",
which again I have no idea what it could be.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Thanks for any replies,</FONT></DIV>
