<p class="MsoNormal">Hi everyone, <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am working on this warehouse (distribution center) building with 50,000 sf of office space (VAV system) & 1.5 million sq ft of warehouse (makeup unit of only 13,500 CFM with heating only). When I do calculation on excel sheet for EUI
(total area 1.5 million + 50,000), it’s around 15 (for design case) but when I look into BEPS report, it shows 395 EUI which doesn’t even make sense. It seems like it’s not reporting the area for distribution center and doing EUI calculation just for office
space area. Can you please let me know how to make equest report the whole area of the facility? Please find the attachment of eQuest files.

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi everyone, <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am working on this warehouse (distribution center) building with 50,000 sf of office space (VAV system) & 1.5 million sq ft of warehouse (makeup unit of only 13,500 CFM with heating only). When I do calculation on excel sheet for EUI
(total area 1.5 million + 50,000), it’s around 15 (for design case) but when I look into BEPS report, it shows 395 EUI which doesn’t even make sense. It seems like it’s not reporting the area for distribution center and doing EUI calculation just for office
space area. Can you please let me know how to make equest report the whole area of the facility? Please find the attachment of eQuest files.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;color:rgb(31,73,125)">Some of the advantages of a WLHP system are related to maintenance and service life compared to systems with air-cooled condensers and requiring envelope penetrations.
These concerns won’t show up in an ASHRAE 90.1 appendix G energy analysis. (Higher infiltration from PTACs?) Also I’d expect some efficiencies of scale from central equipment if your building is large, compared to the PTACs, this may not apply here.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;color:rgb(31,73,125)"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;color:rgb(31,73,125)">But regarding your EAP2 questions…WLHP offers an energy savings when parts of the building are in heating while others are in cooling – depending on your building’s
form and location, as well as modeling assumptions about setpoints, this may not be taking place. For a residential building it might be reasonable to assume that some portion of the residential units are set to different temperature ranges.
<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;color:rgb(31,73,125)"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;color:rgb(31,73,125)">Conversely, if your location is cooling dominated all year, some of the advantages of WLHP go away. One thing to check here is the end-use demand components in
your model. Is the WLHP using less at full load than the air-cooled system? If so, then you need to investigate the modeling assumptions about the controls of the WLHP system when operating at part load. Make sure that what you gained in peak efficinecy isn’t
given back when the system is only partially loaded.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;color:rgb(31,73,125)"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;color:rgb(31,73,125)">Verify that the WLHP control for the condenser loop is variable flow (if the proposed heat pump units have two-way control valves…if not, talk to your engineer
about that!) and that there is a an adequate temperature range for the loop so that the towers and boilers don’t come on immediately. WLHP condenser loop which should be in the range where a condensing boiler will operate successfully, verify that the proposed
case takes advantage of this compared to the baseline. Make sure that the condenser loop is operating on call for demand so that the model isn’t assuming continuous operation.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;color:rgb(31,73,125)"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;color:rgb(31,73,125)">Regarding the DOAS, make sure that the baseline system has the same OA requirements at the PTAC units. Lastly, verify that the fan power for the WLHP units is
entered based on the design pressure drop and not eQUEST defaults. Double-check that the fan run-times for the equipment are the same…which for LEED would be fans operating continuously. You probably have this in place already.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;color:rgb(31,73,125)">I see an interesting paper forwarded by Maria came through while I was typing. Note that the graphics in Figure 1 and Figure 2 are for CO2 emissions, and have
non-zero axes, so there could be some variance for your specific case depending on the relative cost of utilities.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;color:rgb(31,73,125)">It is very interesting – if we take a proposed high-efficiency WLHP system from Figure 2 in Atlanta producing about 625 MTCDE compared to the Figure 1 ASHRAE
90.1 baseline air-source heat pump it is just under 650 MTCDE. In your case, by adding the DOAS and some other efficiencies and depending on your specific utility rates, it should be possible for a high-tech WLHP system to at least reach equivalency with PTACs
if not surpass it. Additional savings should result if you are able to add efficiency from upgraded envelope, lighting, and DHW measures in the proposed design. Check the LS reports to verify that building heating and cooling loads are reduced in the proposed
case compared to the baseline.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">I took a quick look at your models and the one thing that sticks out to me is your pump energy. The difference between PTAC and WSHP is huge. I would expect some difference
since the WSHP needs to run the pumps in cooling mode as well as heating while the PTAC only needs pumps in heating, but the difference in energy seems too big. Also keep in mind that the heating and cooling efficiencies of the WSHPs are only for that piece
of equipment, they don’t include the heat rejection required in cooling mode, the boiler input in heating mode, or the pumps. For those reasons, I wouldn’t expect the WSHP system to be a lot more efficient than the PTAC.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12pt">Hi Morteza,<br>
I have not reviewed the results or detailed inputs of your model, but one thing to be aware is that depending on the rating conditions of your efficiency data, you may have to adjust the EIRs to be consistent with DOE-2 performance curves. The default DOE-2
curves are normalized to the GSHP rating condition, so if using these and if your efficiency data is @ the WSHP rating condition, you will need to apply these adjustments.<br>
<br>
Here is the table from the DOE-2 help provided with eQUEST. There is a library of DOE-2 WSHP curves available from ClimateMaster that do not need these adjustments.<br>
