[BLDG-SIM] External Loads



Thanks Jim (and all),
 
Upon closer inspection I see an 'HX Power' input on the 'Heat Recovery 2' tab, which I'm presuming to be parasitic interlocked to HX operation.  Will try plugging the runaround pump horsepower into this box, analyze the numbers and report back with the complete 'How to Simulate a Runaround Circuit' post.
 
Regards
Brandon

In a ideal situation, the model would have a separate input for auxilary power for ERVs, which some components of eQUEST (e.g., chillers) have that option.  However, with the ERV, I would perform a hand calc to include all of the power that the ERV consumes including your pumps and divide that by the CFM.  There is an input for kW/CFM for ERVs.  This is the same methodology I've used for Ind/Dir Evap cooling to consider cooling tower fan and pumping energy.  For systems like these, I think it's a good idea to calculate the kW/CFM representing the components of your specific system.  Sometimes, the defaults are not respresentative of your actual system.
 
Hope that helps,
Jim

All,
 
How about a parasitic load that are tied to the operation of a system -- in other words loads that don't operate directly on the basis of a schedule.  Specifically I have heat recovery pumps that need to turn on only when the ERV is operational, and turn off when it ERV is on standby, or of course off.
 
 
Thanks

Lynn,
 
I'm assuming by external loads that you mean parking lot lighting, for example?  If so, you would model this as a direct load to the electrical meter.  This is set up by creating a schedule, double clicking on the electric meter, entering the energy use, and then applying the schedule.
 
Hope that helps
Jim

I need to model external loads in eQuest and see in the tutorial and the end-use splits that they are accounted for, but I can't seem to find anything that addresses how they are entered. I'm sure it's obvious to those who know, but it's a mystery to me. Guidance please?
 
Thanks.
