<p class=MsoNormal>Hello,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I am trying to model an on-demand gas hot water with an
efficiency factor of .93 from the manufacturer (Rinnai). ASHRAE says to model
the baseline according to Table 7.8 which shows an Energy Factor of .62.
My .93 unit should be showing significant improvement in the model in the
domestic hot water, but my baseline case (with the .62) is showing slightly
LESS energy usage than my design case with a .93??<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>My process was to select the gas instantaneous in the wizard
for my design case. Create LEED baseline file. Then adjust the
Energy Factor in the LEED baseline file.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thank you,<o:p></o:p></p>
