<font color="#000000">Hello all,<br><br>I'm trying to include a DHW heat pump into some of my models and am confused about some of the results I'm seeing. It seems that the only option for DHW heat pumps
in eQuest is that the heater and its condenser are together on the same
unit (no split/external condenser). This seems fine,
but I thought that if this is the case, then the annual heating and cooling
energy use should be affected by the DHW heat pump. In particular it
seems that in winter the space heating energy use should go up since the
DHW heat pump is extracting heat from the space
it's in, requiring the HVAC system to provide more heat, and in summer
the space cooling energy use should go down for the same reason. But I see no change in the heating or cooling energy when we run the
DHW heat pump.<br><br>Can someone explain why this is the case? Am I missing something?<br><br>Dan<br></font>
