<p>Hello Matt:</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Here's a rather dated paper on how a proxy model was created for the Rec Center at the University of Colorado in 1985. The simulation was with DOE-2 and was actually calibrated to the indoor conditions at the pool, as well as the monthly energy use. The
1987 paper has additional information about how the measurements were used to create an expert system for diagnosing operation and maintenance issues.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Obviously, the DOE-2 program was not created to do this sort of thing, but it can be tricked into giving answers that mimic the measured performance.</p>
<p><br>

</p>
<p>PS: The building also had a skating rink above the women's locker room that was also modeled (or mimicked) with DOE-2</p>

<div> </div>

<div>
<div>Hello,<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am looking for general guidelines on how to model an indoor pool in eQuest, including energy requirements to heat the pool water, and energy requirements to heat/cool/dehumidify the air. If anyone has any resources to point me towards, that would be
greatly appreciated. The pool in question is located in northern Alberta, where the temperature dips to as low as -22 °F in winter. The pool has two small windows. Its roof is part of the building envelope, but its walls are not - the walls are adiabatic.<br>

<div>Thanks,<br>
