  1. ClimateMaster eQUEST (3.56) An All-in-one Tool for Water Loop and Ground Loop Heat Pump Systems Design and Energy Analysis Xiaobing Liu, Ph. D.

  2. Why did We Develop this Tool? Compare operating cost of WL/GL HP system with other HVAC Systems Size ground heat exchangers Compute energy savings to get tax credits and deductions Make life easier

  3. How did We do it? ClimateMaster heat pump library Standing on the shoulder of giants United we stand Advanced GLHE modeling technology

  4. eQUEST DOE-2 derived engine Building creation wizard Industry standard input defaults Graphical results display module eQUEST 3.55 was approved by the California Energy Commission as a 2001 Title 24 non-Residential ACM on 4/27/2005 (an eQUEST 2005 Title 24 non-Residential ACM is being prepared but is not yet available.)

  5. Advanced GLHE Model G-function based algorithm Account for various geometries of borehole field Account for grouting effect Informative input guidance Vertical ground loops only for now

  6. Tranquility 27 – HFC-410A, 2-stage Tranquility 20 – HFC-410A, 1-stage Genesis GC – R22 Genesis GR – R22 Genesis GS – R22 Genesis GL – R22 VHS – R22, vertical stack CCE – R22, console RE – R22, rooftop ClimateMaster Heat Pump Library • Information • Performance curves • TC=f(EWB, EFT) • SC=f(EWB, EFT) • HC=f(EDB, EFT) • EIR_C=f(EWB, EFT) • EIR_C =f(PLR) • EIR_H=f(EDB, EFT) • EIR_H =f(PLR) • BPF=f(EWB, EFT)

  7. What are the Key Features? Calculate hourly building loads Simulate almost ALL HVAC systems including WL/GL HP Graphical reports State-of-the-art tool First (only) to integrate the advanced GLHE model with hourly building simulation

  8. Example of System Comparison Office building 25,000 ft2 Located at Oklahoma City Compared HVAC systems WLHP (tower and boiler) Standard VAV with HW reheat Four pipe fan coil GLHP (vertical close loop GLHE)

  9. Demonstration Process Create building & HVAC system Perform simulation View results Energy consumption Peak demands Utility bill Side-by-Side Comparison

  10. Important Notes Simulation creation wizards An expert advisor Systematic design wizards Design development wizards • Intelligent defaults • Adopted from industry standards • Dependent on prior selections

  11. Start Demonstration

  12. Side-by-Side Comparison

  13. Comparison Results (1):HVAC Energy Consumption

  14. Comparison Results (2):Electricity and gas peak demands

  15. Comparison Results (3):Annual Total Utility Bill

  16. End Demonstration

  17. What can We do Now? Show customers the energy savings from WL/GL HP Help engineers size GLHE and design WL/GL HP systems Apply for LEED certification and tax credits/deductions

  18. Where to Get this Tool? Register and download ClimateMaster eQUEST (3.56) at www.climatemaster.com OR, Download standard version of eQUEST (3.56) at www.doe2.com AND get additional features from us

  19. What is the Difference?

  20. Let’s Work Together Improve building energy efficiency Reduce dependence on imported energy Reduce greenhouse gas emission Sell more WSHP systems = more profits for all of us Thank You!
