<font color="#336666"><font face="verdana,sans-serif"><div>Thanks Christan,</div><div>The comment on the PDF on "DOE-2 simulations to obtain realistic temperatures and air flows for the VAV system, then we used RADCOOL (Stetiu et al. 1995), a finite difference building simulation program written in the Simulation Problem Analysis and Research Kernel (SPARK) environment, to model the thermal performance of the space equipped with phase change" is an unexpected work around, never herd of and can not find a copy of RADCOOL.</div>
<div><br></div><div>About the refrig section of DOE2 doc libraries I searched <a href="http://doe2.com/download/DOE-22/DOE22Vol4-Libraries_47.pdf" target="_blank">http://doe2.com/download/DOE-22/DOE22Vol4-Libraries_47.pdf</a> for the mention of PCM, but did not find, so looked in refrigeration and found some varribles that I suppose may be able to be customized, or am I looking in the wrong doc?</div>

Simulators, </font></font>
<div><font color="#336666"><font face="verdana,sans-serif"><br></font></font></div>
<div><font color="#336666"><font face="verdana,sans-serif">I am working on modeling
Phase Change Materials in Energy Plus and would like
to experiment with workarounds in other
software. </font></font></div>
<div><font color="#336666"><font face="verdana,sans-serif"><br></font></font></div>
<div><font color="#336666"><font face="verdana,sans-serif">
<div>My research shows that the only way to model phase change
meterials of any type correctly is to use Energy Plus, ESP-r, or
TRNSYS, and that for the dupont energain product EDSL Tas
Building Designer, also there is a tool called PCM express that provides
limited functionality. </div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I have been told that workarounds have been preformed in the past to model
PCM's in the following simulation software:</div>
<div>• eQuest</div>
<div>• Carrier </div>
<div>• RemDesign </div></font></font>
<div><br></div>
<div>Also I have been provided with the graph below, and I wonder if anyone on
the list may understand how this was created in eQuest?</div>
