<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>I’m new on the simulation energy
business, and right now the firm I’m working for is trying to achieve a
LEED certification for a 10,000 m² (107,000 ft²), 9 floor manufacturing and
office building plant. I’ve never worked on anything like this earlier
and this is the first time that the firm has take on a job like this, so there
is no previous experience to relay on. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Due to the building characteristics for the
baseline I’m required to model the HVAC system as a system type 7, VAV
with reheat, according to table G3.1.1B of the ASHRAE 90.1 -2007 code. This
type of modeling has many specific requirement such as those indicated on paragraphs
G3.1.2.10 to G3.1.3.15 (those who apply for the type 7 system).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>My question for you would be, does anyone
of you now of a good tutorial, training course, case study or guide which I
could take as a good example for this specific kind of modeling? I’ve
read many threads on this forum regarding the specific modeling items, and I
have advanced in a 80% of the modeling, I’ve already modeled the
geometry, interior lights and loads, schedules etc, the only item missing is
the HVAC model. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>I’m afraid I’m too inexperienced
and this type of modeling can be a very serious item on the LEED review, so any
help you could give me VERY MUCH appreciated. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Thanks for your kind responses and help. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
