I am working on a reply to some LEED reviewer questions regarding
crank case heating for a PSZ-AC system type for a LEED building. The
project is registered under 90.1 - 2004. The eQuest system type
"Packages single zone" defaults to 0.5 kW of crank case heating
which I left in both models since my proposed model uses the same
type system and crankcase in necessary in the northwest. <br>
<br>
The reviewer commented that "because Appendix G does not explicitly
address crankcase heating, it should not be modeled in the baseline
case". This seems to imply that if it is included in the installed
units it need to be in the proposed model, but I need to remove it
from the baseline causing an unfair energy difference. <br>
<br>
I didn't find any CIR's, but does anyone have any suggestions? <br>
