<p class="MsoNormal">Heatpump chillers with UFAD is the system type of the very first building energy simulation model I was ever tasked with building. Suffice to say, like most first efforts in life, that was probably the worst model I ever built$B!D(B but I sure
learned a lot and the challenges of modeling that system arrangement stuck with me! I haven$B!G(Bt been actively practicing eQuest for a while, but I think I can offer a leg up in this instance.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The EDR guidelines Phil extracted/shared will probably forever stand as a useful and appropriate resource to reference for bridging/informing approach for energy simulation in DOE2. It specifically addresses UFAD from an general/office
occupancy perspective. Today, I draw this distinction only to point out if you are dealing with a
<u>data center</u>, the best approach with modern DOE2.3 may look a little different than typical/office scenarios.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Also I$B!G(Bd add for context that the EDR guidelines were published chronologically before ASHRAE Standard 62.1 made some substantial advancements/developments in addressing thermal displacement ventilation. I would treat the specific guidance
within that EDR document as a $B!H(Bfoundation$B!I(B to be considered, understood, then tweaked to align with your present-day system designers$B!G(B considerations, calculations, and decisions around ventilation delivery. By way of example, you can go further than suggested/prescribed
by the EDR document to not only re-appropriate thermal loads, but to also create new/dedicated under-ceiling $B!H(Binterstitial$B!I(B plenum zones (with air walls) to better simulate a situation where you can assert buoyancy effects will be in play (as opposed to perfect
mixing). I$B!G(Bve taken those lessons learned and applied to simulations of other spaces without UFAD and deliberate TDV such as auditoriums, atriums, and ice hockey rinks.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">That said, you are also asking about heat pump chillers. In DOE2 terms (semantics), if I$B!G(Bm correctly guessing the real-world equipment is 2-pipe (there$B!G(Bs a hydronic loop delivering either chilled or hot water to a single coil), then in
DOE2.3 terms I think you might be happy with a CHILLER of TYPE = HEAT-PUMP and CONDENSER-TYPE = AIR-COOLED. I$B!G(Bd suggest review/reference at Volume 2: Dictionary > HVAC Components > CHILLER > Air-to-Water Heat-Pump (HEAT-PUMP, AIR-COOLED). Be mindful the
number of air-side systems which can attach to a circulation loop of type 2-PIPE are limited and that probably merits separate consideration against your actual equipment.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Following is a visual example I slapped together to show what that may look like in the interface if you were to define post-wizards$B!D(B I$B!G(Bm not certain this sort of chiller arrangement is something the wizards can set up for you however,
so you may need to do what I did and create the associated loop/pump/chiller manually (after wizards):<o:p></o:p></p>
