[BLDG-SIM] How to model Snowmelt System in eQUEST?



Yes, 90.1 does mention snowmelt in the first paragraph of Table G3.1.  The way I’ve done it is in Excel and then add it to the eQuest numbers. 

 

That being said, I’d love to figure out a way to model it in eQuest.  Could it be done as a process load?

Ryan,

 

Yes, I am modeling for LEED. It might be simpler and easier if Calculating the annual energy consumption for snowmelting system separately, and somehow adding it to heating load from eQUEST.

Did you know ASHRAE 90.1-2004 Appendix G mentions anything about snowmelting? I haven't found yet...

Wow I am in the same exact boat as you are in.  I have a snow melt system that I need to model and am not sure how to go about doing it.  Are you energy  modeling for LEED?

Hi, everyone!

Does anyone know how to model Snow-melt System with eQUEST?

The building I am modeling has radiant snowmelt systems at the basement floor.

Please let me know if anyone has modeled before or has any idea.

 

Thank you
