<p class=MsoNormal>Hi all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I’m working on modeling an active chilled beam
system. It consists of the chilled beams and a dedicated unit to provide
primary air (mainly ventilation air) to the beams at 55 degrees. I’ve
modeled the chilled beam system as a fan coil system, but am wondering about my
options for modeling the primary air. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>My question is this: If I attach the primary/ventilation
air unit to the fan coil system in the FC’s Outdoor Air tab under “Outside
Air from System” will the temperature of the air coming from that unit
have an impact on the load in the space? I have a ton of hours at very low
load during the winter months, and I want eQuest to use the 55 degree primary
air as the first stage of cooling for the space and not “double up”
the cooling energy by cooling the 55 degree air and then not use that for
cooling in the zones.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>If anybody has some input, it would be appreciated. <o:p></o:p></p>
