<p class="MsoNormal">Water source heat pumps are serving spaces in the cellar and first floor that are of concern for this model. Please review the eQuest energy model attached. I am trying to find the appropriate way to model
<span style="color:black">two </span>electric duct heaters <span style="color:black">
and outside air fans on the cellar & first floors </span>mainly utilized to provide outside air to
<span style="color:black">the WSHP </span>units <span style="color:black">o</span>n the<span style="color:black">se
</span>floor<span style="color:black">s</span>. <span style="color:black">The electric duct heaters heat the outside air from 0F to 40F (cellar) or 60F (first floor). </span>The temperature of entering outside air should be 40F for units “C EXERCISE ROOM SYS”,
“C AC SYS” AND “C SCREEN ROOM SYS” on cellar floor, and 60F for units “1 LOUNGE”, “1 LOBBY SYS” and “1 CORR BIKE MAIL SYS” on first floor. I created two heating and ventilation systems “C DUCT HEATER” and “1 DUCT HEATER”, and fixed the heating set point temperatures
to 40F and 60F respectively. I also created and assigned dummy <span style="color:black">
zones</span> with no internal gains to these systems. After simulation, I am getting extremely high heating unmet hours for the dummy
<span style="color:black">zones</span>, plus the zones served by the above systems do not seem to receive outside air at the appropriate temperature. I am wondering if some inputs in my model are incorrect. If possible, can anyone please indicate how this design
strategy should be modeled and the resulting issues addressed ?<o:p></o:p></p>
