</p><p class="MsoNormal">I’m modeling a 1940s-era apartment building for a geothermal retrofit. The current heating system consists of hot-water radiators supplied by gas-fired boilers. Cooling is supplied by window air conditioning units in each apartment. The ultimate objective is to generate building space heating and cooling loads to size a heat pump and ground heat exchanger – by space heating and cooling loads, I mean the total heat which has to be added or removed by the HVAC system to maintain all conditioned spaces at their set points.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">Currently I’m generating hourly loads from the Building HVAC hourly report block using variables 1 & 2, entitled “Building cool load (coils + losses&gains)” and “Building heat load (coils + losses&gains)”. Are these the right variables to use, or do I need to look somewhere else?</p>
