[TRNSYS-users] LEED simulation - reference HVAC (appendix G ASHRAE 90.1)

[David BRADLEY]

Filippo,
   Simulating the 90.1 Appendix G baseline systems almost always 
involves the use of multiple Types. If you have questions about a 
particular baseline system, please tell me which one and I can probably 
give you some guidance. For the most part the TESS HVAC library contains 
the components that you would need. We do have a VAV air handler 
component that I have used for LEED simulations although it is not 
officially part of either the standard library or the TESS Libraries.

   As far as the files that you need to submit along with your LEED 
forms, in my experience this is a bit of a guessing game between you and 
the reviewer. TRNSYS does not have the kind of standardized forms that 
LEED reviewers are used to. I usually submit the *.dck and the *.b17. In 
general I use a Type46 (printegrator) to generate one or more output 
files the contain the monthly power draw of all the active components of 
the systems (fans, pumps, compressors, heaters, etc.). I then put the 
contents of those files into a spreadsheet that I submit to the reviewer.
kind regards,
  David
