<P><FONT SIZE=2>Dear all,<BR>
<BR>
This is driving me crazy!<BR>
<BR>
Can someone please tell me what is the relation between the boiler equipment capacity and the Space Heat Consumption? I thought it was linear, but when I increased the equipment capacity from a very small value and upwards, the consumption started increasing and then decreasing and then increasing again!<BR>
<BR>
I am doing this to try to solve a problem:<BR>
<BR>
I'm comparing the boilers and their consumption (space heat) of the baseline and the proposed designs. There is a very big difference, and I'm sure I compared both inputs, tab by tab, and they are identical (even the schedules)!!<BR>
<BR>
I tried once with automatic sizing of the boilers, and once with a constant value that I imposed on both baseline and proposed designs.<BR>
<BR>
Any help is much appreciated!<BR>
<BR>
Best regards,<BR>
Omar<BR>
