<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:#1F497D">Hi, Hector – I recently did this for a LEED submission and had to do an exceptional calculation. There isn’t a method of modeling infrared heating directly in eQUEST. I modeled it as electrical baseboard
heat and assigned a sub-meter to report the kWh used by the baseboard system in the space. Once I figured out the energy usage in kWh used by the baseboard, I converted it to natural gas therms and then divided by the average efficiency of the infrared system.
I submitted a narrative explaining this, and the LEED reviewer accepted the calculation method. I’m sure there are more accurate (and more time-consuming) methods for modeling it, though.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
