<p class=MsoNormal>Hello.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I know this has been discussed, but I just wanted to get
some input on an idea for Demand Control Ventilation in TRACE. Many of us
know that there is a process to follow in the Systems – Advanced Options
tab, etc, for modeling it. However, I’ve always been a bit
fuzzy on how this would work. From my understanding, DCV basically saves
energy that we cannot account for (due to unknown or uneven occupancies), and
therefore cannot model. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Could this be modeled as having a Ventilation Schedule of
100% for any occupied time (regardless of occupancy amount), and a Ventilation
Schedule that varies based on an estimated occupancy?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Assuming that DCV is NOT required in the baseline, would
this be a feasible idea?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Any thoughts?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks!<o:p></o:p></p>
