Date: Fri, 3 Sep 2010 15:13:15 -0700<br>Subject: Re: [Equest-users] VRF Systems (Jeff Sharpe)<br><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">I wanted to add two things about simulating VRF/VRV systems using eQuest. First, here's the link to a great slideshow guide by Dana Troy, who will take you through the simulation process step-by-step:</font><div>
<span style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:medium;border-collapse:collapse;color:rgb(68, 68, 68)"><pre style="white-space:pre-wrap"><a href="http://lists.onebuilding.org/pipermail/equest-users-onebuilding.org/attachments/20100510/b54414e3/attachment-0001.pdf" style="color:rgb(34, 34, 34)" target="_blank"><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="font-size:small">http://lists.onebuilding.org/pipermail/equest-users-onebuilding.org/attachments/20100510/b54414e3/attachment-0001.pdf</span></font></a></pre>
<pre style="white-space:pre-wrap"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman';white-space:normal"><pre style="white-space:pre-wrap"><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="font-size:small">Secondly, I've developed (and attached) a flag worksheet whose purpose is to count the number of instances in which, during one hour, the .csv output file from an eQuest project shows simultaneous heating and cooling loads across multiple zones. The essential idea is that an eQuest user will copy-and-paste hourly heating/cooling loads from each zone, at which point the spreadsheet will flag instances in which one zone is heating while another is cooling. The spreadsheet looks at kW usage for electricity and Btu/h for fuel.</span></font></pre>
<pre style="white-space:pre-wrap"><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="font-size:small">I've also included the ability to factor in heating and cooling aux. power, as well as a graphical display on the second sheet to give a quick idea of what times of year simultaneous heating & cooling occurs.</span></font></pre>
<pre style="white-space:pre-wrap"><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="font-size:small">Those who are familiar with excel should be able to learn to use the spreadsheet quickly to gauge the usefulness of a VRV or similar system. I've included instructions at the bottom of the worksheet's first page.</span></font></pre>
<pre style="white-space:pre-wrap"><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="font-size:small">I hope someone finds this tool useful! Feedback would be much appreciated as well.</span></font></pre>
<pre style="white-space:pre-wrap"><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="font-size:small">Regards,
-Taylor Sharpe</span></font></pre></span></pre></span></div>
